QMUL CopyShop Posters (A0,A1,A2)
QMUL CopyShop closed 2025-07-28 and an external front provider has been appointed.
The ITS external print provider should be able to print posters (possibly on fabric which might be easier to transport to international conferences than paper). Talk to your supervisor to obtain a budget code (or for private prints you will have to pay yourself).
For the time being you will be able to continue to order print services by emailing thecopyshop@qmul.ac.uk. From August 2025 we expect a new online portal.

Good Practice for Preparing Posters for Print Shops
If you wish to have a Research Poster printed it is good practice to prepare a PDF/A-1 file which has your name, date and page-size in the filename.
Decide what page-size poster you require (A0,A1,A2 etc). Refer to conference details to see if they have a specific size or maximum size.
Some printers sometimes have problems with "transparancy" so try to avoid this if possible.
Poster Summary
- PDF/A-1 file
- Your name and date and page-size in the filename
