For K-State students, faculty, and staff: The K-State Salina Library has an HP DesignJet T650 large-format printer, which does an excellent job of printing posters for research conferences and presentations. You will need to follow several rules to make effective use of this printer and the time of library staff:
- Poster requests must be received by the library at least two business days before you need them.
- Compose your poster using the template below in PowerPoint.
- All poster requests must be sent to Dr. Mirtz (mirtz@ksu.edu) with as much information as you have. Attach the file as a PDF.
- If your file is too large to attach, you may deliver it to the library on a flash drive.
- The file must be in PDF format and sized to the final requested size. We can't "enlarge" a letter-sized document into a large poster. Other formats do not print reliably and will not be accepted. We will only print the PDF as is; we do not edit PDF files.
- If the PDF file contains more than one page, each page will be printed as a separate poster.
- The poster printer can print up to 36" wide, and any length. Typically, 36" x 48" is a research poster, and 24" x 28" is a good size for advertising an event.
- Estimated cost and size of paper is as follows:
| Paper Type |
Paper Width |
For Planning Purposes--Estimated Cost Per Square Foot |
| Bright White |
36" |
$1.00 to $2.25 |
| Heavy White |
