Poster Printing
ICES prints posters for affiliated faculty and students. If you have a poster that you would
like printed, please read the following guidelines before contacting us.
Poster Size
One side of your poster must be 40 inches or shorter, the length of the other side is
unlimited. The most common poster size is 40 inches by 30 inches. The poster can be designed horizontally or vertically, it makes no difference when printing. Allow at least three days for printing and drying time.
How should I make my poster?
Your poster file can be an Adobe Acrobat file (*.pdf) or a Microsoft Powerpoint file (*.ppt). No
matter what program you create your poster in, make sure the file is the exact size you will want
the final, printed poster to be. If you need logos to use on your poster, visit our downloadable logos page.
How much will it cost?
The charges for a poster are as follows: $7.00 / sq. foot if it 6 sq. feet or under, $5.00 / sq.
foot if it is between 6 and 15 sq. feet, and $4.00 / sq. foot if it is 15 sq. feet or over. You must
provide an Oracle number to charge printing costs to before the poster is sent to print.
Once your poster is ready to print, contact Tim Kelly, ICES Graphic Designer, by calling
412-268-2229 or sending an email to tjkelly@andrew.cmu.edu.
