Poster Printing at the Makerspace is for RMC-sponsored research projects and educational events.
* For other print projects, please consult the Sharepoint site.
SURF faculty advisors should email the faculty administrative assistant the names of their SURF students who will have their posters printed for the Symposium Day or SURF Day.
SURF posters are typically displayed on 56”W x 36”H boards. You may use our layout template for a 56"W x 36"H poster [download]. Save your finished poster as PDF for submission.
Note: Students who are given the option of printing out individual slides for the poster presentation may use the color printers in the Library.
Some course instructors and research advisors require the student presentation be printed on one large poster. Information below pertains to large-poster design and printing.
The student must confirm with the instructor or advisor on the size of the poster. You may download the template below if it meets your instructor's requirement.
The instructor or advisor who requires students submit poster presentations, please email Dori Broomell with the following information before students submit files to the Makerspace.
We highly recommend you use Microsoft PowerPoint and set the slide design to the size (W x H) required by your instructor or the conference organization.
We have templates for two common sizes used by RMC faculty and students: 48"W x 36"H, and 56"W x 36"H. For a different size of poster, you may still download the template. Then open it, and from the "Design" tab, change the "Page Setup..." (details in the "Quick Design Tips" section).
Note: Using other online templates may not print properly.
We encourage patrons to observe the Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines for content creation.
The poster must be saved or exported as a PDF file for printing (instruction here). The Makerspace only accepts PDF files.
