Is this your first time printing a poster?
Be sure to check out all of the guidelines below before submitting the print request.
We ask that you please allow at least one week for printing. We will let you know when your poster is ready for you to pick up in Library room 108. There are "fold-it-yourself" boxes available if you wish to protect your poster from the elements.
You must be logged into to your Elmhurst University Outlook account to access the form.
If you have any questions, please contact Carolyn Ciesla (x3172).
