Poster Printing and Templates

Procedure

1. Send and email to poster@mpi.nl informing the Administration that you want to order a poster. It is important to name the proposed price of your poster (see below). Make sure to order the poster at least one week before you actually need it. 
2. The Administration will take care of the according approvals and send you a confirmation email wit the official order form (pdf). Please attach this pdf when sending your poster data to the company. Please only order your poster after having received the order from the Administration! Otherwise, your order is not approved. 
3. When the design of your poster is ready, you can send it to print@janssenrepro.nl. Remember to indicate the size of the final poster. Posters can be delivered in three file formats: .ppt (PowerPoint), .pdf, .eps (Adobe Illustrator; when .ai is converted to .eps, the text has to be transformed to outline before). 
4. Usually, the poster will be delivered at the reception desk within two working days. The reception will inform you accordingly. 

Posters cannot be printed at the institute itself. The digital data can be delivered to this company:

Janssen Lichtdruk en Reproductie

Pontanusstraat 20

6524HD Nijmegen

Website: www.janssenrepro.nl 

Phone: 024 322 6715

Email: print@janssenrepro.nl 

Note: do not mix up this company with a company that has almost the same name in Sittard-Geleen. Make sure you contact the company in Nijmegen. 

If you decide to bring the poster to the company yourself (om CD-ROM or memory card), you also have to bring the printed order form (please print it yourself). In that case, you ca also hand over an example of the poster on A3-size paper that you print beforehand. In that way, the company can match the final poster with your example. This can be important with respect to IPA fonts etc.

Note: PowerPoint does not define margins by default. You can either define the margins of the poster yourself, or you can tell the printing company what the margins should be. Also, the colours on the final poster can deviate from the ones that you printed out on any MPI printer. There is nothing we can do about this, it is just a warning. 

Options

• Poly Textile: apart from the normal thick poster paper, you can decide to print your poster on Poly Textile. This is a thin, synthetic fabric that can be folded easily. You can transport your poster in your (hand)luggage in a small box instead of a cylinder. It can save extra freight charges from budget airlines. 
• Plasticise: if you want the same poster several times, expose it for a long time or in severe circumstances, you can plasticise (Dutch: plastificeren) the poster.
