Large Format Printing

CPL large format printing services are open for both personal and academic requests for anyone in the University of Nebraska (NU) system community, or individuals associated with an official NU event, office, or partner. Check current pricing and information on our request form.

For academic mass-quantity printing (flyers/handbills/business cards) reach out to the UNMC Print Shop.

Projects submitted for our Epson Large Format printer can be any size, and will be printed on the smallest-width roll paper needed to fit your file. Smaller files can be printed, and will be charged based on paper used. At this time our largest possible print size is 43.5" x 72".

The UNO Criss Library is in compliance with copyright laws. Printing is reserved for UNO students, faculty, and staff or recognized CEC partners only. Creative Production Lab services are not available for commissioned work and profit enterprises.

Academic requests for printing will be charged $2.00/square foot. Personal requests will be charged $5.00/square foot. All requests are printed on rolled Epson Enhanced Matte paper (10.3mil, 192gsm). A small amount of excess paper may be left that will incur cost and must be trimmed by the patron.

At this time the CPL does not trim, cut, or prepare patron prints after machine printing. We cannot print directly to nor mount prints to corrugated cardboard, foamcore, or gatorboard backing media.

Large format print requests are processed on our

Epson SureColor P8000 Designer Edition Printer.

How Do I Submit a File for Large Format Printing?

  1. To best preview your color output results, prepare your document in CMYK mode. Files with any color mode are accepted but may have minor color shifting if not natively created in CMYK.
  2. Set your DPI (dots per inch) to at least 300. This will keep your image from appearing too blurry or pixilated. All resolutions are accepted for printing, but you will be notified if your image will result in a low quality print
  3. Set your image to the exact size you need printed. Lab staff will not resize your image.
  4. Add crop marks if needed to alleviate trimming challenges.
  5. Save your file in either TIFF or PDF (high resolution format). If saving from a PowerPoint slide, always save as PDF. (JPG, PNG, BMP, and TGA files are allowable but may see color or quality alterations versus file presentation on digital devices.)
  6. Submit a print request via our online form.

Allow at least 24 hours, or one (1) business day for single poster requests to be available for pickup. Academic requests will take priority. Submitting multiple files within a request may expect a longer processing time.

Prints not picked up within one week of completion are subject to a fine on the patron's library account. Prints not picked up after two weeks of pickup notification will have a fine placed on the patron account and the print will be recycled.


Flat Media Scanning

If your project requires high-quality digitization of physical media the CPL offers access to an Epson Expression 10000XL scanner.

For traditional flat bed scanning up to 12" x 18", this device can create archival quality images and documents for use in a professional portfolio, or upscaling for printing.

No reservation is necessary. Lab staff can assist, if needed. Access to the scanner is on a first-come-first-served basis given computer station availability.

Large format scanning using the Contex IQ 4400 is no longer available. We hope to be able to offer this service again in the future pending funding for equipment replacement.

Questions? Contact lab staff and we can help you with your project.
