Use of Psychology Poster Printer Facilities
**Important: Poster printing is available to Psychology
graduate students, faculty (and associated) members and
their graduate students only.**
Poster printer facilities are located in Room N7/2A of the
Stewart Building. The room is accessible with a "S" or "SS"
key.
We have a PC connected to the poster printer as well as a
paper trimmer for trimming the excess borders of the posters
after printing. Microsoft Office (PowerPoint 2010) and Adobe
Illustrator and Adobe Professional are currently available
for the PC.
Poster printer is available to all Psychology faculty, Grad
students, Post-Docs and RAs (those printing for faculty
members). Undergraduate students should ask a Psychology
grad student to print for them. Grad students must be
present in the room during the printing process if printing
for undergrads.
The charge for printing is $20 per poster, payable in cash
(no checks) to Morris Eichler (Room W8/9), or charged to a
faculty grant with faculty supervisor permission.
Please record all printing information requested and charges
in the log book next to the printer.
