Guidelines for printing
- Posters can be printed up to 44 inches tall. Please design your poster so that at least one side is 44 inches or less.
- We briefly review files before printing. We do not provide proofreading services.
- We can print CMYK profiled items, but we cannot offer "color perfect" service.
- Accepted file formats
- Lied Library: PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF
- TDRL: PowerPoint, PDF, JPG, JPEG, and TIFF
- Use large images. Small, low resolution images from the web will be pixelated when printed.
- Please design your poster at the exact printing dimension.
- Please note that all submissions are final. Once the print job has started, changes cannot be made. Library users are responsible for the cost of that print job plus the cost of any subsequent/altered prints.
- Embed any special symbols or unusual fonts that are important for your project.
Large Group Poster Submissions (15–45 Posters)
Due to our commitment to serving the entire UNLV campus and managing a high volume of requests, the UNLV Libraries has limits for large group poster printing projects.
If your department has a need for printing between 15 and 45 event posters, please see our guidelines below and email heng-wei.cheng@unlv.edu to confirm availability and agree upon a timeline. The Library cannot accept files or arrange departmental payment with individual students for large group jobs. We cannot process groups of posters larger than 45. If your request is for more than 45 posters or you need individual submissions, please contact Rebel Copy & Send for assistance.
Capacity and Timeline
- We can process a maximum of 15 event posters per week.
- Please note that this limit may be affected by holidays, staff availability, and the number of print jobs currently in the queue.
Submission and Charging Rules
To ensure a smooth process for large group requests, the requesting department must follow these four steps:
- Collect All Files: A single designated contact from the department must collect all poster files.
- Verify Files: The department contact must ensure all poster dimensions are correct and in a PDF format. We do not accept PowerPoint files.
- Submit and Review: The department contact will send all finalized PDFs via Google Drive. The Library will perform a quick review for errors, but the department contact is responsible for reaching out to students directly for any necessary changes.
- Payment: The Library will prepare a journal voucher for payment once all final files are printed.
