Plotters are large-format printers used to make posters, banners, and print large CAD drawings. The plotter is available to anyone with a CAEDM account. Plotting is restricted to official coursework, activities, and research within the college. Patrons may not print posters or drawings for classes outside the college or for personal use. All plotting must be directly college related. This means no English 316 posters.
42 Inch Glossy Poster Plotter
- Located in CB 425
- Cost: $4.50 per linear foot
- 42" wide x however long you want
The 42" High Gloss Poster Plotter uses quality photo paper to create stunning posters and banners. Due to the high cost associated with printing, only trained CAEDM employees may print to the glossy plotter. Poster printing must be done during business hours. Individuals wishing to print posters must first fill out a poster request form. Printed forms can be found near the plotter and must be completed before printing.
CAEDM is able to print posters from most applications. For best results, set the page size in the application before beginning any work. Changing the page size later will cause problems. Although the paper is 42" wide, the ideal page size is 40" wide. Using a 40" width will give you 1" margins on both sides of your document. Maximum printable length is about 10 feet.
Posters are charged to the nearest linear inch, with a one foot minimum. CAEDM accepts signature cards, group printing accounts, department journal accounts, and research journal accounts as payment. Cash, checks, and credit cards are not accepted. Please note that college departments must use a department journal account and cannot reimburse students for posters printed. We can no longer accept accounts that begin with 'R' (research accounts).
When ready to print a poster, please bring the poster on a USB flash drive along with a completed poster request form to the administrators in CB 423.
