PPRC Poster Printing (A0,A1,A2)
PPRC no longer has a CAD Plotter for the Design office so cannot print research posters for SPCS.
A3 printing
If you need an A3 print then you should use the managed MyPrint service and release your job on a larger printer.
QMUL CopyShop Posters
TheCopyShop can print posters. Talk to your supervisor to obtain a budget code or for private prints you will have to pay yourself.
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 and research group in the filename.
Decide what size poster you require. 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.
