  • Poster Printing:
    • Send your poster jpeg file to the Mail and Copy Center to print (mailsvcs@bakerU.edu) with a subject line of: “Poster Printing”.   In the body of the email, please indicate the size of your poster and how you plan to pay for the poster.  Some departments will provide a fund code that you can use rather than paying out of pocket.
