Payment Method

A valid Cost Center number is required when submitting our online order form. Speak to your department’s business office or your PI for your appropriate Cost Center that will cover the cost of your poster. You will not provide us with a funding source such as a grant number. Once the ISD is sent to your department for payment, they will assign it a funding source. If your department does not cover the cost of the poster, you will still need to provide us your Cost Center number for payment, and then you will need reimburse your department directly.

We do not accept cash, credit cards, checks, or Bear Bucks.

As of January 1, 2025, revised poster files submitted to the Knight ADRC poster service between the hours of 12pm and 5pm on Tuesdays will incur a $20 revision fee per submitted revision in addition to the standard cost of the printed poster discussed below.

Printing Cost

Foldable Fabric Prints: $0.83/per linear inch

Costs are calculated on a per liner inch basis. This the length of the amount of material that printer uses when printing your poster. It does not necessarily mean the longest side of your poster, but it often is. We round to the nearest inch when calculating the billable length. A cost calculator is provided further below on this page.

Cost Formula: Length of paper used rounded to the nearest inch x 0.83 = Total Cost
