Poster printing

Poster printing instructions

  • Poster printing is available to faculty, staff, and students of the college and must be work-related.

  • Requests must be submitted at least 48 business hours in advance of pickup. Printing service is first come first served, and will be completed Monday through Friday dependent on Dean’s Office staffing.

  • Please submit your request to the CEHD Dean’s Office at cehd104@umn.edu using the subject line: Poster Printing Request. In your poster printing request, please include:

    • Both the original PowerPoint file and a PDF version of your poster

    • Dimensions that your poster needs to be printed

    • Preferred completion date and time

  • Create your poster in PowerPoint. Be sure to enter the dimensions of your poster in the Design>>Page Setup.

  • We print on a 42″ paper roll. The largest dimensions that can be printed are 42 inches × 56 inches. Smaller posters with a width of 42” or less are preferred.

  • The poster MUST display University of Minnesota branding for conference materials, with exceptions for work printed for class. Inclusion of the college brand is strongly suggested.

  • To reduce ink costs, poster backgrounds MUST be white.

    • To save on resources, we will no longer print posters that have a solid background. Any posters submitted with solid backgrounds will be rejected with notification to the submitter, increasing the time needed for production and printing any revision.

  • Once your poster has been successfully printed, you will receive an email notifying you that the poster is complete and ready to be picked up in 104 Burton Hall.

  • We do NOT provide tubes, please bring your own.
