Poster Printing

Prior to printing the poster, you will need to:

• If payment by a grant:
  • Obtain your mentor's signature on an 8.5" X 11" size print proof of your poster or have your mentor send Tom an e-mail approving your poster
  • Have the grant's PI send Tom an e-mail with a Foundation project/grant number approving payment for your poster before printing
• If payment by you:
  • Please make your check payable to "CSULB Foundation"
  • At the top of your check, write your campus ID
• If payment by a department:
  • We cannot accept startup funds/state funds (only exception is pre-approved by Henry Wu, henrywu@csulb.edu)
  • For Foundation Account, please have the authorized account personnel send Tom an e-mail approving the poster's cost to be transferred along with the poster's owner name
• Payment is due before printing, thank you.

The recommended software to use for creating your poster is MS PowerPoint version 2007. When submitting your poster file for printing, it must be print-ready. All graphs and pictures should already have been imported into the poster.

J. SAS Lab technicians will print the poster during posted open hours. However, no print job will be accepted after 3:00 pm (Mon - Thurs). Each print takes up to one hour, depending on the content's complexity. Poster will be ready for pickup approximately two hours.

An appointment is required for printing. A courtesy 1-week notice will be greatly appreciated.

During peak printing days*, posters will be ready for pickup the next business day unless special arrangement is made.
