Effective August 26 2020: Due to Covid-19, Library Copier Services hours are restricted to Thursdays 11am-2pm and payments must be made via credit card or departmental account number over the phone at (512) 495-4239 only during those hours. LCS staff will then reach out to you to set a pickup appointment on the entry level of PCL. Please note that we must coordinate with students seeking to access other library resources and we thus cannot guarantee same-day payment and pickup. Please plan ahead.
Large-format printing is a service offered by Library Copier Services, located on the 1st Floor of the Perry-Castañeda Library. This resource is available to UT Faculty, Staff, and Students, as well as to visiting conference attendees and presenters, for their academic poster needs.
Guidelines for Submission:
Please email files compliant with the above criteria to posterprinting@lib.utexas.edu. Files larger than 15MB must be delivered to Library Copier Services on a USB. We do not accept files larger than 40MB.
Library Copier Services is not responsible for spelling or graphics errors on submitted files. You will be charged for the original order and any re-prints. LCS reserves the right to return a poster for revision if bright or dark colors account for a significant portion of the poster. Note that all poster printing is done through a PC, and that MAC/PC compatibility issues are possible. Each computer and monitor represent colors slightly differently—color variation is normal, and colors on your printed poster may not be an exact match to the colors on your screen.
NOTE ON COPYRIGHT: If you plan to include any UT logos or trademarks in your poster, you must obtain authorization for use of appropriate logos from the Office of Brand, Trademark & Licensing. You can apply for approval through this online portal: https://portal.trademarks.utexas.edu. You can direct any questions to trademarks@utexas.edu.
Please allow 1-2 business days for your poster to be printed. Library Copier Services staff will reach out to you via email when your poster is ready to pick up.
UT EID Holders: $10/linear foot
Non-UT Affiliates: $11/linear foot
42” Cardboard Mailing Tubes: $5/each
Sales tax is not included in the above pricing.
For a visual explanation of “linear foot” pricing, please see below:
EX: if you were to lay a poster sized 32” x 46” over the above infographic, it would extend into the purple section, between 36.01” and 48”, and therefore would be considered 4 linear feet, costing $40 for a UT EID Holder or $44 for a Non-UT Affiliate.
Payments are taken at the time of pick up.
NOTICE TO FACULTY: If your department would like to pay for student posters via an Inter-Departmental Transfer, please email posterprinting@lib.utexas.edu with a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet showing the full 10-digit account number and a list of approved students, formatted as below:
