Posters
The standard size for a scientific poster is 36 in x 48 in (91.4 cm x 121.9 cm) or 12ft (Landscape & Portrait), but it can vary depending on the event or conference requirements. This poster size is easy to transport and can fit on most display areas or poster boards. As a note of reference, most conferences and poster sessions have poster measurement requirements. For accuracy, confirm that your poster's PowerPoint slide is the correct size before submitting it to the DHLRI Core Lab-Poster Printing office.
DHLRI offers printing on standard HP Satin Photo paper as well as HP Artist Matte Canvas Poster Paper.

Poster Printing Request Process
Davis Heart and Lung Poster Printing now accepts poster printing requests through WorkDay. We recommend submitting your request in WorkDay as soon as possible to ensure that your Requisition is fully approved before you need your poster printed. Remember, both your approved Requisition and your poster need to be submitted. This means that you can submit your WorkDay order without a poster to start the process, and then later add your poster to the WorkDay system or send it to DHLRI.PosterPrint@osumc.edu for proofing and printing.
Due to the high volume of printing, if you plan to use DHLRI for your poster printing please ensure a feasible timeline before your deadline to request poster printing from DHLRI. Other options are available but may come with a price increase (Kinkos, UniPrint, Biomedical Media-Health Sciences Library, College of Vet Med.). Thank you in advance for choosing DHLRI for your poster printing needs.
To arrange for poster printing at DHLRI, please use WorkDay to submit your poster.
