Poster Submission |
Poster printing services are available to all Claremont students/faculty/staff throughout the year. If you're not a Keck Science affiliated faculty/staff/student, the fee is now $50. A samples page has been put up with plenty of sample
posters.
I made a downloadable template with the correct
dimensions set up in powerpoint
as a mockup of a poster. You can download it and use it as a guide.

i will only do it if there's enough time. |

Problems: |
If your poster has already been
printed, and you discover a mistake which you wish to correct, |
I will only do so if there is time,
but you will be charged for another poster. If your poster does
not print, |
or has a printing problem due to
printer faults, you will not be charged for a re-print. |

List of typical problems and ways to avoid them:
- If you have a color fill for your text box, NO TRANSPARENT FILLS, instead, use a lighter color.
- SPSS graphs, DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. In SPSS Viewer, go to File, Export and export as JPEG.
- NO TIFF's inserted into powerpoint. (Logos are typically okay.)Convert to JPEG or GIF first!
- Power Point Background Textures, this one varies depending on which
textures you use, try using a similarly colored solid background, or
gradient filled background instead. See * below.
- Do NOT use: ArialUnicode-MS, or any other Arial variant. (Arial is okay)
- If you use special symbols or greek alphabets, they will convert
to different font types, after you type it check agaist rule #5 by
highlighting only that symbol/character and looking at the font drop
box. When you use insert symbol, the dialog
box will have a place to pick the font, make sure you don't pick ArialUnicode-MS.
- If you're using a mac, do not copy and paste directly into the power point from the browser/ or previewer.
- Photoshop PSD's. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE into your poster. Export as
Jpegs then insert jpegs.
- Do NOT use "Late Sunset" with a horizontal fill effect for your TITLE text box. (small ones are okay.)
- Do NOT use "dotted lines" for borders of text boxes, use solid lines instead.
- Most Blue's darker than Cyan will show up as purple when printed. (don't use as backgrounds, see below)
- Aqua Greens have been coming out blue. (see color matching link below)
- NO 3D effects on pictures, most don't show up in print & it makes printing take about 5 times as long!
