Printing

The GeoGraphics Lab is offering poster printing for PSU Geography students and faculty who are attending conferences or campus events. 

In order to have your request processed efficiently, please fill out this form for each poster. You must make your request a minimum of 7 business days before the day you need the poster printed.

Once you submit the form, a member of the lab will contact you by email within 1 business day. You must submit the poster itself in PDF format to this lab member a minimum of 3 business days before the day you need the poster printed.

If you submit your request in another manner, such as by emailing the office staff or talking to a member of the lab, we cannot guarantee your poster will be printed on time. We also cannot guarantee that late submissions will be printed on time, although we will try our best.

We are currently working on a set of more detailed printing guidelines. For now please follow these basic guidelines:

  • Avoid gradients
  • Avoid semi-transparent images
  • View your poster at 100% to ensure none of the images are pixelated
  • Most standard posters are 36×48 inches or 24×36 inches. Unless stated otherwise by the venue you are presenting at, please try to make your poster one of these sizes
    • Our paper comes in 24, 36, and 44 inch sizes. It is easiest for us if one side is one of these lengths
  • Export the file as a full size PDF
  • While we finalize our guidelines, check out these suggestions from CSU Long Beach
