Bippity, boppity, boo: magical presentations using color and large format printing

Abstract

IT User Services at the University of Delaware offers students, faculty and staff large-format color printing to enhance presentations and graphic communication in a cost-effective manner. We offer support for their projects from start to finish. Extensive documentation and one-on-one help is available to assist users in designing their documents for large format color printing, configure their print drivers, and create and view their documents as PDF files before printing the final copy. The response to printing large-format color documents on campus has been overwhelming. We have seen an increase in volume due to contests, advertising for departments, campus-wide campaigns, conferences, and course-specific projects. Our convenient location, inexpensive pricing, and extensive support all contribute to the success of the service. This poster session will cover the hardware and software evaluation process, configuration, printing material selection and costs, cost comparisons and recovery, and ongoing support for this service.
