Size: Our maximum paper width is 42’ wide. It prints from a roll so there is no limit to the length. See below for more size and finish options.
Paper: We have medium-weight bond (non-glossy) in widths of 24”, 36” and 42”. We also stock 24” photo-gloss paper. We can laminate for extra durability and a glossier look. Lamination is $1.85 per square foot and takes an extra day.
Cost: Color or black and white output on bond is $5.95 per square foot when charged to a UGA account, and $6.95 if the invoice is to be paid by check of any kind. The photo paper is $8.95 per square foot (UGA account) or $9.95 (paid by check).
To figure the square footage, measure your final output dimensions in inches, and multiply length by height to get a total. Then divide this figure by 144. Multiply this by your cost per square foot to get your total. 7% sales tax is added to orders paid by check.
Files: PDF, JPEG, and PowerPoint are recommended. We may be able to print others, but be sure to include any fonts or support files if we need to run your files from their native applications.
For rasterized images (JPEG, TIF and Photoshop), your resolution at output size should be at least 150 dpi. If you’re unsure how to determine this, just send us your file and we’ll sort it out for you.
Enlarging existing files: In some cases, we can enlarge files without losing much if any image quality, although rasterized images tend to lose quality. Submit your file and we’ll check it or run a test print.
Turnaround time: We try to run posters the same day if you bring them in before noon, but it’ll depend on our work load. It’s best to plan on a two-day turnaround. Lamination usually requires an extra day. If there’s an urgent need for rush service let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
Sending your files: Unless it’s a large file, email it to mdodson@uga.edu. Please call 404-542-5991 if we have not confirmed receipt of your file by the end of the day. Or drop off a disk or flash drive at our office: Room 712 in Boyd Graduate Studies.
