and dry. However, unforeseen circumstances may create delays in printing.

Come Prepared

  1. Edit and review your poster BEFORE you come to print it. If you need to make changes to your file, the next person who is ready to print will be served first.
  2. Know what size poster you would like to print. 
  3. Bring your work on a flash drive or email. Your poster will not be printed until you arrive for your appointment.
