Poster FAQ

Where is the plotter printer located?
The plotter is located on the first floor of the Central Library in The Studios Print & Design Center.

Alternative Plotters on Campus
There are labs on the 3rd floor (319 and 324) in the Architecture Building, where you can print posters. Please note that the labs in the Architecture Building are sometimes occupied by classes and, therefore, not always available. There is also a plotter in the Engineering Lab Building (256).

 

How much does it cost to print a poster?

See current printing costs.

 

How do I pay for a poster?

You can use a UTA student/staff ID card

To add money to your UTA ID card you can access mavmoney.uta.edu, or deposit funds by visiting the MAV Express machine located on the 2nd floor of Central Library. (NOTE: Plotters do not accept print cards.)

 

Can I submit an order online?

No, we do not take orders online. We do offer consultations for formatting. We also offer sizing services during printing.

 

What colors and sizes are available?

All colors are available. The length can be up to 125 inches with a maximum width of 42 inches.

 

How long will my poster take to print?

It depends on the size of the print and the paper. Most matte images print in under 5 minutes, while gloss takes a little longer and most will finish printing in under 10 minutes. For larger sizes, it will take longer, especially gloss.

 

What file type do I need to print?

We recommend using any of the following; PowerPoint, PDF, or PhotoShop Files.

 

Where can I pick up my poster?

The print process is mediated by student staffing (see hours). The library is not responsible for any prints or other property left unattended. ​
