Important Details to Review Before Submitting Your File
Posters can be created in the application of your choice, most often they are done in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Illustrator. Whichever application you use to create the poster, please try to submit a correctly sized PDF version for printing. The PDF version ensures the integrity of your poster design.
It is essential that your submitted poster PDF be correctly sized. The paper rolls used on the printer are 42" or 36" so one edge of your design can not exceed 42 inches . A good maximum size for posters that will be displayed at poster sessions is 42" x 42".
Before submitting, review the "properties" of your PDF document from the File menu to confirm your poster size. Do not send a poster that is sized 8.5" x 11".
If your file exceeds 12MB - contact BE-IT to make alternate arrangements for file transfer via Dropbox, FTP, etc.
Posters are printed on HP Semi-Gloss Satin Pigment Ink Paper.
