Poster Printing

We were talking about printing conference posters, and the cost of this came up. Useful suggestion was that Laurence Lee, a technician in REM, has a poster printer that he charges very good rates for to people who need to print one. If, however, speed is of the essence, Ursula got her poster printed at the Cornerstone printers in under two hours.
