Poster Printing at the Health Sciences Library: Home

Poster Policy

• Posters will be printed during Librarian Office hours Monday through Thursday

• Only Emory & Henry faculty, staff, and students may request posters

• The poster must be in PDF (preferred) or PowerPoint format

• When creating a poster slide using PowerPoint, the slide MUST be set up at the actual size that you will have printed or half-size (21”x36” for a 42”x72” poster)

• We are not responsible for editing or formatting posters

• You will receive an email when your poster is ready (usually 2 business days)

• We reserve the right to refuse printing to anyone not meeting these guidelines

Helpful Hints on Setting up Your Poster

• We print on 44" wide media rolls. Either the width OR length of your poster may exceed 44", but not both dimensions

• We will not print any document smaller than 12"x18" 

• Make sure you have a small margin (at least 0.5") on all sides of your poster 

• Make sure your font is large enough for viewing - at least 20pt.

• Make sure your font is simple.  Simple serif fonts such as “Times New Roman” are easier to read than sans serif fonts such as “Geneva.”
