Pre-ordering your poster print saves you time and money. When you pre-order your poster, experienced professionals will review your file, print your poster, and package it up so that all you have to do is pick it up at the Fishbowl (Angell Hall Campus Computing Site). Detailed instructions for pre-ordering are below.
