Members of the Monroe Park campus community now have access to a large-format or poster printer at James Branch Cabell Library. Such a printer has long been in operation on the MCV Campus at Tompkins-McCaw Library. It debuted this week at Cabell.
Faculty, students and staff may use these printers. Here's how:
Also on the Web, VCU Libraries offers several helpful pages that explain how to create a poster-size document, sharing templates, etc.
Both library locations use the same format (patrons upload their documents via VCU FileDrop), and charge the same fee. You will get an email notification when your poster is ready. If you'll be charging the cost of the print to a university account, bring the budget code with you when you come to pick up your poster. Cash, check, charge and RamBucks are also accepted. The cost is $15 per foot or portion thereof on the longest dimension. For example, a poster 32 inches (2 feet 8 inches) tall by 64 inches (5 feet 3 inches) wide would cost $75. The MCV Campus offers additional tools--laminating and cutting--that Cabell does not.
Poster printers are offered as a convenience for members of the university who frequently present posters at workshops and conferences.
