Large Format Printing
Welcome to the UT Libraries’ Large Format Printing service!
Please read the following information carefully to ensure we can process your print request in a timely manner.
The Libraries' Large Format Printing service does not offer same-day, next-day, or expedited turnaround. Please allow at least 2 business days for processing.
NOTE: Pendergrass will be closing for construction to the building. The last day to submit before the closure is Wednesday, June 10 and the last day to pick-up will be Friday, June 12. Printing services will resume once the library has reopened.
FOR ALL POSTERS:
Poster Size: We cannot process posters larger than 42x72”, or smaller than 12x24”. If you need smaller prints, please combine them into a single page using Powerpoint or InDesign, and submit your request as one large PDF file. Please note that we cannot print posters whose PDF dimensions do not match the requested dimensions on our form.
Processing Time: Prints are processed in the order they are received. Please allow at least 48 hours or two business days for processing – we do not guarantee same or next-day prints. We do not automatically cancel prints past the deadline, and cannot cancel prints after the price has been accepted.
Prints submitted after the requested service point closes will enter the processing queue the following business day. We offer the same poster printing services at each location, but the operating hours may be different. If you’re in a hurry, we recommend printing at Pendergrass.
Batch Printing: When requesting 5 or more copies of the same file, or different files, please email us at studioprint@utk.edu for printing instructions and processing time.
Payment Information: We do not accept cash, Sponsored Projects, Sponsor Account Numbers, or any numbers beginning with E or R. Proper DASH Account Format: XX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXX-XXXX-XX-XXXX.
Poster Design Resources: Information for designing and sharing a research poster can be found at the Research Posters Guide.
