Poster Printing Information
The Undergraduate Research Office (URO) will provide printing for one poster of bond quality for Intersections individual presenters and one per group presenters. When ordering, remember that Intersections board sizes are 32' x 40" and 40" by 60". You can check which size your requested on your registration form. The URO does not pay late fees.
There are two campus vendors who provide this printing service: University Student Activities and Leadership (SA&L) and FedEx. Please choose one of these vendors and follow their specific guidelines (below). Please note that the SA&L provides Bond printing but not High Weight Coated (HWC) printing, which is offered on campus through FedEx. At this time, the URO provides free printing for bond quality only. If you have any questions about poster printing in general, please contact ugresearch@case.edu. If you have specific vendor questions, please contact the vendor.
