Additional Services

Poster Printing

As an additional service to students, the Labs also offer poster printing. If you’d like to print a sign or poster for your campus event or just to decorate your apartment, we can help you out. You design the poster and we’ll print it for you!

Standard poster sizes are 11”x17”, 24”x36”, and up to 36″x72″. Color posters start at $5 each and increase depending on size, ink used, and paper type. Poster printing services do not operate on the same payment format as CometPrint, you will need to have cash as payment when you collect your order.

Please email the Lab admins, [email protected], for your sign/poster printing needs with your design attached. Please allow 5 business days to complete large format poster printing.

If this poster is to be used on campus, please be familiar with the UT Dallas policy on publicity and signs.
