Large Format Poster Printing
Digitization Center
The LITS Digitization Center, located in the MEWS, provides photographic quality, large-format, poster printing for the Mount Holyoke community. Please contact James Gehrt for a consultation appointment at least 24 hours prior to the printing. The actual printing will be done by the Digitization Center staff this printer is not self service. The Digitization Center is not responsible for editing of poster content. We will consult on image quality and file size to assure the best possible print quality. During busy e-reserve time (generally two weeks before the semester begins, and two weeks into the semester) all electronic reserve projects take precedence over poster printing. Files should be received with at least 24 hour time-frame for completion. The more notice the better.
The fee for this printing is based on $4.00 a square foot for print resolution 1440 and $5.00 a square foot for print resolution 2880. All posters will be printed on a glossy surface paper.
