The IBS Graduate Program is now offering a poster printing service for affiliates of UAB.Our low cost, fast turnaround time, and convenient location quickly makes us a popularalternative to for-profit printers like Kinko's.
To avoid delay, posters need to be submitted for printing at least two business days inadvance of when they are needed, and we strongly suggest you allow additional time priorto large conferences. As always, posters are printed on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you have created slides using PowerPoint, you will find that it isn't difficult to createa poster. However, what you see on the monitor is not always what you get when theposter is printed on the poster printer. We have compiled this list of tips to help youavoid common mistakes that lead to printing errors. Please use these guidelines whencreating your poster.
All posters should be submitted 2 business days in advance of pick-up time. Prior tolarge scientific meetings, we suggest that you allow additional time.
Add a 1/2 to 1" border of white space on all sides of your poster to accommodatevariations in printing.
Use standard fonts like Arial or Times New Roman; other fonts may not printcorrectly.
Type all special characters (e.g. Greek/mathematical symbols) directly in PowerPoint
rather than copying and pasting them in from another document. We have found thatspecial characters pasted into PowerPoint have a tendency to print incorrectly eventhough the character displays correctly on the monitor. Insert special characters byclicking Insert >> Symbol >> [character].
Make sure that text boxes are on the page. Even if the text appears on the page, the textbox may extend beyond the edge and cause the text to shift when printed.
F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S
Where are you located? The poster printing service is in Shelby 120E (first floor).
How much does it cost? $25.00 per poster ($10 surcharge for non-white backgrounds)
Why do I have to review my poster before you print it? What you see on your
monitor is not always what you get when the poster is printed. Following our Technical
Specifications and Advice & Tips will minimize problems, but we still prefer that you
review your poster as it looks on our monitor and grant final approval.
Do I need an appointment to drop off my poster? Appointments are not required, butif we are away when you stop by, you can sign up on a list to have a staff member contact
you when he/she returns.
What is the turnaround time for printing? Posters need to be submitted for printing at
least two business days in advance of when they are needed, and we strongly suggest that
you allow additional time (2-4 days) prior to large conferences. We will call or e-mail
you if your poster is ready earlier.
