Large Format Printing
Properly formatted poster submissions will be printed within three business days (Monday-Friday, excluding holiday and break periods) and can be paid for/picked up at the Raynor Digital Scholarship Lab Desk (Raynor Lower Level). Students will be notified via email when the print is ready for pick-up.
