Guidelines for Designing Your Printing Poster
To ensure high-quality printing poster output, please adhere to the following design guidelines:
- MCW Logo Usage: When incorporating the MCW logo into your printing poster design, please use high-resolution images. Downloadable logos are accessible on InfoScope. Using high-quality logos is crucial for professional printing poster results.
- Preferred File Formats: The ideal file format for printing poster submissions is PowerPoint slide format (PPT or PPTX). However, we also accept PDF files. Using these formats helps ensure accurate and efficient printing poster production.

At MCW Libraries, we maintain high standards for our printing poster service. We expect all submitted poster files to be final, proofread, and print-ready. Submitting print-ready files ensures a smooth and quick printing poster process.
While not guaranteed due to staffing and volume, we may perform a cursory final check for obvious errors before printing poster. If we identify a significant issue, we will contact you to confirm corrections before proceeding with the printing poster process.

We will replace the original file with the revised one, provided printing poster has not yet commenced.
