Common Questions and Concerns

What format should may poster be in?

The poster should be in PowerPoint and emailed to ENG-BME@osu.edu as a .pptx file.

How far in advance should I email my poster?

As we do not have a staff member available to print every day, you will need to plan ahead. Email your poster three business days before poster is needed. For example, if a poster is needed on Thursday, it should be sent by Monday, if a poster is needed on a Monday, it should be emailed by the Wednesday before.

What should I include in the email?

  1. Poster .pptx file
  2. Your name 
  3. The event the poster is for
  4. The date the poster is needed by

What additional resources are provided?

The office has rubber bands and scissors to cut off extra poster if applicable. The office DOES NOT provide poster tubes.

How do I know when my poster is ready?

We will contact you via email when your poster is ready for pick up.

Poster Recommendations

  • We strongly recommend that you keep the poster background white, and use color for the graphics, section titles, borders, etc. This will give your text good contrast and use much less ink.
  • Recommended poster size is 48 inches wide by 36 inches height in PowerPoint.
    • The poster printer uses a 36” paper roll, so all posters will need to be 36” in one of the directions, either horizontal or vertical. The other dimension can be any length.
  • Always be sure to use the most recent logos.
