The Tech Desk

We offer on-site, large-format poster printing. The Hub Shop @ Lathrop is our online ordering platform to support the Stanford community for conference presentations, class projects, poster sessions, and other poster needs.

We utilize an Epson SureColor P8000 large-format printer with one maximum dimension of 44 inches. All posters are printed on a doubleweight matte paper, which is a heavyweight paper for high quality and quick drying poster prints. By utilizing a 44" poster printer, we are able to provide patrons with many sizing options and prices.

To ensure a high-quality print, please make sure to:

  • Submit your poster as a PDF
  • Verify the dimensions of the file match the requested print dimensions
  • Check all logos and pictures are clear, high resolution images
