How do I pre-order poster printing for pickup at Fishbowl?

Resolution

Pre-ordering your poster print saves you time and money. When you pre-order your poster, experienced professionals will review your file, print your poster, and package it up so that all you have to do is pick it up at the Fishbowl (Angell Hall Campus Computing Site). Detailed instructions for pre-ordering are below. 

1. Sign in to the MPrint account web portal with your uniqname and UMICH (Level-1) password.

2. In the Choose a Product section, hover your mouse over the poster icon and click the green Start Order button. A new window will display.

3. Click Attach file and select the file you want to upload. The only accepted file format is PDF. Review additional tips for poster formatting. Attach your file as a PDF file.
   1. If you used the PowerPoint template from the LSA Poster Resources website, the document dimensions of 32 inches x 40 inches will remain consistent when you convert the PPTX to PDF format.
   2. To convert a PowerPoint (PPTX) file to PDF, simply save the document as a PDF document. You will now have a PPTX and PDF file of the same document. Attach the PDF file.
4. In the Details section, enter a title and the number of copies you would like to print.
5. Enter a size for the poster. Maximum width is 40 inches, but length can be much longer.

6. Choose an account to charge the order to.
   1. If multiple accounts display in the Accounting section, you can choose to either charge to your Personal account or to a pre-configured Shortcode account that displays. Note: Additional accounts can be added on the MPrint Accounts page. If you add a Shortcode with a specific dollar amount allocated to it, allow 24 hours for processing. 
   2. If you do not have any pre-configured Shortcode accounts available but wish to charge this poster to a Shortcode, you can enter it in the Shortcode to charge field. 

7. Select your desired Delivery option.

Note: Orders are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you've chosen a pickup location other than the Fishbowl, please allow two business days for your poster to be delivered.

8. Add any additional comments or instructions.
9. Click Submit.
10. The Tech Help team will email you once your poster is ready for pick up at the Fishbowl (Angell Hall Computing Site).
