How do we get the posters printed?
Posters may be printed centrally at Macaulay free of charge. Just let us know when you’re coming. Fill out the seminar printing form below, and select only one time slot.
If you need to change your appointment time please email michael.parascandola@mhc.cuny.edu.
Your group should review your final draft of the poster with your professor before coming to Macaulay to print it. Macaulay does not provide proofreading or editing–that is your responsibility. We can only reprint posters for truly unusual mistakes.
One student from each group – not your ITF, not your instructor – must bring a copy of the Powerpoint file on a flash drive and must be present during the printing process.
The poster printer handles a roll of paper that is 36 inches wide. You can work with your ITF to decide the best dimensions and orientation for your poster design, but the maximum size of one of the dimensions will be 36 inches. Students should avoid designing their posters with large areas of dark color, such as a black background.
What happens to the poster after we print it?
You will need to take the poster away with you and bring it back for your presentation. We cannot store posters at Macaulay. We can provide a rubber band, and usually a plastic bag if it is raining, but many students prefer to have a strong mailing tube to protect their posters on the subway. We can not provide those tubes, but the post office on Columbus Avenue and 68th Street does sell them. Be sure to get one big enough for your poster!
Can we print the posters somewhere else and be reimbursed for the cost by Macaulay?
No. If you want to print commercially, you will be responsible for the cost. There may be options for printing on your campus. Unfortunately, we can’t really advise you about those or set that up for you, and we don’t know if there will be a cost for that.
