Poster printing

Self-service poster printing is available at uCreate Main Library and uCreate King's Buildings.

About our plotters

uCreate hosts four large format printers (also known as plotters), two at uCreate ML and two at uCreate KB. You can use them to print A2, A1 or A0 posters on plain or glossy paper.

Printing posters at King's Buildings

At King's Buildings, the two plotters are in different but adjoining buildings.

The glossy paper plotter is in the Noreen and Kenneth Murray Library and the plain paper plotter is in the KB Study Centre.

You can login to any uCreate PC in the Library or the KB Study Centre and send a print file to either plotter. However, do be aware that you might have to go to the other building to collect your print, depending on which plotter you have selected.

Poster printing support

The uCreate User Guide on the support page provides step-by-step instructions for printing your own poster.

Important information for staff planning class poster projects

uCreate welcomes class poster projects but they can increase demand on support and resources, especially when a number of projects coincide.

With some advance notice, any increase in demand can be easily managed.

Staff planning a class poster printing project should contact the IS Helpline a few weeks in advance with details of the project, including which School, printing commencement and deadline dates, expected number and size of posters and to arrange payment where required.

Practical advice to help with poster design can be found on the IS Skills 'How to' wiki.

Paying for poster printing

If paying for their own printing, students simply deposit the amount of credit required in their print accounts.

If a School is paying for printing, payment must be made in advance by eIT. Contact uCreate through the IS Helpline for further information.
