  • One dimension must be less than 42 inches
  • For quicker service, we recommend that your poster be one of the following standard size

    • 36 x 24 inches
    • 36 x 42 inches 
    • 36 x 48 inches

  • The printer by default puts a 1/4 inch border. We recommned not placing content within the outer 1/2 inches of your poster. 

You must have enough funds on your SDSUcard account before submitting your request as we will only print your poster if you have enough funds in GET to cover costs. Add funds & check balance via GET
