Large Format Printing
Hope College faculty, staff and students can submit posters for large format
printing through CopyWorks (Library
location) or at the Science
Center.
Tips for Preparing Your Poster
- Plan ahead! Please do not wait until the last minute
to print your poster. During busy times, the turnaround time may be
longer.
- Do not place any text, graphics, etc. within 1/2" of the margin
- Ink fades over time if not kept beneath glass.
- Templates
are available.
- PowerPoint slides work well for posters.
- Image quality is important. Low-resolution images will appear pixilated
or blurry when printed large on a large scale. For best results, scan
images from books, use quality digital photos or speak with a reference
librarian about high quality image databases.
