Poster Printing
Guidelines for Poster Printing Requests
- Posters are printed Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm.
- Your printing request must be received at least two working days before you need it. For example, if you make a request on Thursday, the poster will not be printed until the following Monday.
- This service is for students in the Computer Science Department. We are NOT a printing service for all of UVA. UVA Printing Services, in the bookstore, also prints posters.
Submitting a Request
- To request a poster, send an email to cshelpdesk@virginia.edu.
- Do not submit your poster request until your poster is finalized.
- The poster's file format must be .pdf (Portable Document Format).
- Attach the poster's .pdf file to the email. Do not use generic names for your file (like “poster.pdf”). Use a unique name for your file like “abc1de_poster_IEEE_Spring”.
- The resolution is 300 dpi.
- Mandatory: The email's subject line should be: Poster printing: request from {UVA ID}, needed by {Date and time}, size {Arch D or Arch E} with or without tube. For example “Poster printing: request from abc1de needed by August 23, 4pm, size arch D, no tube”.
- Only Arch D 24“x36” or Arch E 36“x48” poster sizes can be printed.
- Specify in the body of the email:
the title of the poster, for example "My Excellent Groundbreaking Research Findings" the size (24x36 or 36x48) the orientation (landscape or portrait)
You will be notified by email when the poster is ready.
Posters must be picked from the hallway outside Rice Hall room 007.
Return poster tubes (if borrowed) to Rice Hall room 007 and reply to your request to indicate that it has been returned.
Reprint Policy
- If we have made an error we will reprint the poster. However, if you make an error, we won't reprint the poster if it has already been printed.
- If your poster has not yet been printed, you can change the poster, but ALWAYS change the name of change print file. For example, for the file “SansIEEE_EJS3S.pdf”, the changed file should be named “SansIEEE_EJS3S-2.pdf”. Reply to the same email as the original request… do NOT send a new email to cshelpdesk@virginia.edu
Lost Carry Tube Policy
- If you lose a borrowed Carry Tube you must replace it
- The University Bookstore sells poster tubes
If we can't print the poster, UVA Printing Services, in the back of the Bookstore, will print up to 24×36 inch posters. Off-grounds poster printing can be done at Staples or a commercial printer.
