Getting Your Poster Printed

You must format your poster with the following guidelines, or we will not print it:

1. Make your poster a single slide in PowerPoint
2. In page layout, size your poster at 44” (width) by 34” (height). This size creates a flexible ratio of 1.33

Note: Make sure that you check your poster in print preview to ensure that it will look how you want. DO NOT rely on how it looks on the slide design page.

Also, be aware that any images will be blown up a great deal to fit the poster. Check to make sure any pictures have a high enough resolution that they won’t be pixilated on the poster.

Posters e-mailed to purc@gsu.edu will be printed on a first come, first serve basis. Specifically, posters will be printed in the order you send them, and no posters will be printed after Friday at 10:30 AM. Because we only have a certain amount of time allotted to print posters, if you e-mail your poster later in the week, it is possible that there will already be enough posters in line before you that your poster will not be printed.

If there is a problem with your poster, you will receive an e-mail informing you that you need to revise your poster, and your poster will go to the back of the line. The best way to avoid this problem is to check your poster in print preview to ensure that none of the poster is off the printed page, and none of your text or images are overlapping.
