Health Sciences Library Poster Printing

Health Sciences Library Poster Printing

The Health Sciences Library poster printing service is available for New York Medical College Library users either via our electronic submission service or by appointment.

Due to COVID-19, we are only accepting posters via electronic submission. Electronic submissions may have a longer turnaround time than the typical 1-2 days, and you will be notified when your poster is ready for pickup.

Service Types

    • The library accepts credit and debit cards (VISA, Mastercard, and Discover), checks, grant and department numbers, and cash. ­
  • Once the poster is printed, payment is due immediately. Any reprints will be charged to the patron.
  • It is the patron's responsibility to ensure the poster is print ready when sent to the library. By submitting your poster you are agreeing to pay the fees.
  • If there is an obvious problem with the poster, the library will notify the patron that the poster cannot be printed until the patron reviews the poster. 
  • Allow 1-2 working days for the poster to be printed.
  • The patron will be notified once the poster is ready for pickup. All posters can be picked up at the Access Services Desk. ­
