Creating Posters for the HP DesignJet 800

This is a guide for creating posters to be printed on the HP DesignJet 800 large-format printer located in Beard Hall, Room 100S. The HP DesignJet 800 is capable of printing posters up to 42 inches wide. The printer is loaded with heavy, coated, 42-inch wide paper. If you want your poster to be less than 42 inches, there will be extra white space around the poster, which you may or may not want to trim off. We do not have 36-inch paper or high-gloss paper.
