Large Format Poster Printing

Large Format Printer Partially Out of Service
We are currently able to print poster's without Red, Magenta, Pink, or Orange colors/tones. 
 
For immediate printing needs, we recommend using a local FedEx Office.
 
 
If you would like to be notified when service is fully restored, email techsupport@csusm.edu.
 
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

IITS maintains and operates a large format printer for use by the campus community at a cost of $0.67 per linear inch.
This printer is capable of printing posters as large as 42 inches wide and the desired height.

  • If one side exceeds 42 inches, calculate .67 times the larger side.
  • If both sides are equal to or less than 42 inches, calculate .67 times the smaller side among the two.

Refund Policy

  • IITS will consider offering refunds on a case-by-case basis.
  • However, refunds will not be provided in the following situations.
    • Output is unacceptable due to client errors such as spelling mistakes, sizing, or misplaced graphics.
    • Colors or images are not what the client expected, and the plotter is behaving normally.
      Clients should do small test plots from their own application to learn what sort of results the application will produce before submitting a large, expensive plot. Image quality is the client's responsibility
    • The plotter produces flawed results for any reason but the client opts to use the results anyway.
  • As an alternative to our print services, we recommend the local FedEx Office Print & Ship Center.
