LBC Research Poster Printing

Details

LBC provides large format printing for research posters by our Briggs students, for the low cost of $10 in Spartan Cash per poster.

 

Procedure

1. Design your poster, proofread it, and make sure its dimensions are correct.
2. Save your file as a PDF.
3. Upload your poster PDF to the LBC Poster Printing form linked below. You must do this at least two (2) business days in advance of when you need your poster, in order to accommodate LBC printing staffing.
4. Staff will email you once it's printed, to tell you when you can pick it up.
5. You pick up and pay for your poster.

 

Cost

$10 in Spartan Cash, unless prior arrangements have been made by a faculty member.

You will be responsible to pay the $10 in Spartan Cash with a swipe of your ID card when picking up your poster from Room W-38. 

Remember to add Spartan Cash to your MSU ID card at least two hours prior to paying. Do not select funds for "MSU Print." This is a separate printing system.

 

Timeframe

We must have your file uploaded to Qualtrics two (2) business days prior to when you present it, to accommodate poster staffing.

 

Pickup Location

Holmes Hall, Room W-38

 

File Upload

Lyman Briggs College Poster Printing Form (opens a Qualtrics form in another window)

Poster Dimensions

• For LBC course-based posters and most conferences, the printed poster is 48 inches wide by 36 inches tall.
• For UURAF and Mid-SURE, your poster must be printed 40 inches wide by 32 inches tall.

Helpful note: make sure you change slide or page dimensions in your design software to match the ratio of the finished product, e.g. 4:3 for a 48x36 in. poster, or 5:4 for a 40x32 UURAF poster.

Other Printing Locations

Consider printing your poster through the MSU Library, the Erickson Print & Copy Center, or Office Depot. Each will take different forms of payment.
