If you have any questions about the Laupus Library poster printing service, please contact the Computer Lab.

•  Posters will be printed Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm, excluding holidays when the library is closed.

• Only ECU Division of Health Sciences faculty, staff, and students may request posters. We will verify your ECU status.

•  The poster must be in one of the following formats: PowerPoint, Illustrator, or Word.

•  We are not responsible for editing or formatting posters.

•  We will review the poster to ensure it is for ECU business. Personal posters or multiple copies of a poster will not be printed.

•  The poster will be printed within one business day, unless there is a problem with the poster or we experience a high number of requests. Forms submitted Saturday or Sunday will be printed before Tuesday morning.

•  After the poster has been printed, you will receive an email notifying you to pick up the poster in the computer lab. If you do not receive an email within one business day, please contact the Computer Lab.

•  We reserve the right to refuse printing to anyone not meeting these guidelines.

•  We only use 42" wide paper rolls. Either the width OR length of your poster may exceed 42", but not both dimensions.

•  If the width AND length your poster is smaller than 42" (i.e. poster size is 18"x24") you will need to trim your poster to the desired size after printing. We do not have any paper smaller than 42" rolls.

•  We will not print any document 11"x17" or smaller. To print documents 11"x17" or smaller, you should contact ECU Rapid Copy.

•  Make sure you have a small margin (at least 0.5") on all sides of your poster. The printer cannot print to the edge of the paper so you need to leave room between the text/images and the side of the poster.

•  You may create the poster at a smaller size than what you would like printed. For example, you may create a poster using PowerPoint with a page size of 36"x21", then have the final poster size of 72"x42". Just include the desired printed size on the request form.

•  A known compatibility issue exists with graphs exported into PowerPoint posters directly from Prism Graph software for printing on our HP Designjet poster printer. The easiest way to work with graphs in a PowerPoint poster is to create graphs in Excel, and copy them to the poster. Please refer to this solution.

If you have read the above guidelines, you may Submit a Poster Request.
