Poster Printing

The AU Library Makerspace is pleased to offer a Canon imagePROGRAF iPF-8400 large format poster printer to current AU students, staff, and faculty for their academic and personal needs. Poster printing is not self-service and requires staff assistance. If you would like to discuss your poster, or don't know where to start, schedule a consultation with us!

Submitting a PDF file to print

All files must be submitted as a PDF using our poster printing request form. Once submitted, Makerspace staff will be in contact using our ticketing system—keep an eye on your email for updates to your case. We will not edit your poster to fit the desired size or complete any other design work on your behalf, so please submit your PDF file exactly how you want it printed!  We ask for a 24-hour turnaround when printing posters.

Note: The Makerspace is only open Monday - Friday. Any prints submitted on Friday evening through the weekend will be attended to on Monday at the earliest. Expedited prints are subject to staff availability and an additional $5 fee.

Pricing

All of our paper is Canon Glossy Photo Paper 170 gsm, and the costs are determined by the length of the final poster. The price per linear foot varies by the width of the paper roll (length/12 x cost of roll).
