Wide-Format / Poster Print Requests

The SAM Lab is equipped with a wide-format color printer for research posters and other data visualization projects (e.g., research exhibits or displays). Currently, print requests are limited to:

  • Students and faculty in the School of Social & Behavioral Sciences (SBS) or individuals who are assisting with research that is being supervised by SBS faculty

  • Presentations at a college/university, regional, national, or international conference, expo, or exhibit
    We are unable to accommodate wide-format print requests for class assignments and class-related projects at this time. In limited circumstances, students may be able to submit print requests for course-related group projects, however, prior approval and arrangements must be made between the course instructor and the SAM Lab Director.

  • 3 wide-format print jobs (free of charge) per student or faculty member each semester
    Each SBS student and faculty may request up to 3 wide-format print jobs (free of charge) per semester/summer. In the event that an individual plans to present more than three posters in a semester, they should consult with the SAM Lab to discuss options.

Overview of Procedure for Print Request

  • Step 1: Complete and submit a Wide-Format/Poster Print Request Form. Print copies of the form are also available in the SAM Lab (FAB B12). You will need to submit your form at least 5 business days prior to when you hope to have the print job completed.
    Note: You will need to be signed in to your ASU gmail account to complete the above form. If you have any issues accessing the form, please email us at samlabasu@gmail.com.

  • Step 2: After you submit your completed form, a SAM Lab consultant will reach out to you to schedule a print job appointment. Your appointment should be at least 1 full business day prior to when you will need your printed poster in hand. You will need to email the PDF version of your finalized poster to the SAM Lab (samlabasu@gmail.com) at least 2 business days prior to your appointment. You may also, however, bring a USB key with your print request (saved as a PDF) to the SAM Lab at least two business days prior to your appointment.

  • Step 3: During your scheduled print appointment, a SAM Lab Consultant will meet with you in FAB B16 (located next to the main SAM Lab space) to review your print job. With your final approval, you will be able to take home your print job.
