How To Order Your Print

  • Fill out a Print Request Form and submit it and your project as a high quality PDF three business days in advance to creativestudio@miami.edu
  • All print orders must be sized by the patron to the desired dimensions. Files that are significantly smaller than the desired size (for example an 8.5”x11” file for a 36”x44” poster request) can result in blurred text/images and large white borders.)
  • Staff will contact you with a cost estimate and turn-around time.
  • Pick up your print at the Creative Studio during office hours.

Poster Creation Tips

  • Create your poster in the actual size you require.
  • Use full size images (at least 100 dpi, but 300 dpi will look much better).
  • When using MS PowerPoint, turn on the Ruler option under Design-Page Setup to adjust the size of your slide.
  • Save your final document as a PDF.

Policies

  • Patrons are responsible for the design of their posters. This includes creation of any graphics and text formatting.
  • The printer can only be operated by the studio staff.
  • Creative Studio reserves the right not to print an order and patrons will be notified.
  • The printing service is only available Monday through Friday.
  • Group orders (10 or more files) must be received 7 days in advance.
