We ask that all posters be sent to us as a PDF file. This helps ensure print quality. Verify that your PDF looks correct and has the correct page size before sending.

Great! How do I use it?

In order to print something on the plotter you need to contact one of the IT support people:
John Harris

They will setup a time to get the job printed out and help you with formatting to insure you have a quality project printed.
