# The print room posters feature: posters for your organisation's 3D printers

Put clear, consistent posters up next to your 3D printers, in a print room, a workshop, a lab or a makerspace: how to clean the build plate, how to sign in, how to send a print from the slicer, the rules of the room and more. Download a ready-made poster as it is, change it, or make your own, then print it on an office printer or have it printed as a big poster.

|| Print room posters are part of the Enterprise and School plans.

## Where to find the posters
Open **Academy** in the sidebar and choose **Posters**, or search for "posters" in the panel's search.

The page has two tabs: **Ready-made**, with the posters we made for you, and **Your posters**, with the ones your account has saved.

## The ready-made posters
Every poster is free to print and put up, as many as you like. There are eleven to start from, including:

- **How to clean the build plate** - let it cool, take the print off, wipe it, put it back
- **How to sign up** - with a QR code to your account's own sign-up or sign-in page
- **How to 3D print** and **How 3D printing works** - for people new to the printers
- **From the slicer to the printer** - slice, then add it to the queue or print it right away
- **Print room rules** and **Printer safety**
- **Looking after filament**, **Changing filament**, **Better prints** and **Printer maintenance**

Choose **Print or download** under a poster to use it as it is, or **Change** to make it your own. Changing a ready-made poster gives you your own copy to save; it never changes anyone else's.

## Make your own poster
| Short text prints biggest. If there is more text than fits, it is made smaller automatically, and the editor tells you when even that is not enough.

Choose **New poster** to start from a blank one, or **Change** on any poster. The preview shows the poster exactly as it will print.

In the **Poster** box you choose:
- **Title** - the big text at the top.
- **Style** - **Numbered steps**, a **List** without numbers, or **Spotlight** (big and centred, for one or two messages).
- **Position** - where the text sits when there is room to spare: top, middle, bottom or spread out.
- **Paper** - A4, A3, US Letter or Tabloid for an office printer, and A2, A1, A0, 18 × 24 in or 24 × 36 in for a poster printer or print shop.
- **Picture size** and **Background**.

Each part of the poster (up to four) has a **picture**, a **heading** and a **text**. Choose one of our illustrations or icons, or upload your own picture (PNG, JPEG or WebP), for example a photo of your own printers or your logo.

Every poster carries a small SimplyPrint logo at the bottom.

## Add a QR code
Turn on **Add a QR code** to put a code in the box at the bottom of the poster. It can lead to:
- **Sign-in page** - your account's own sign-in page, including single sign-on if you use it. **Sign-up page** is there too when sign-up is turned on for your account.
- **Hub** - your Hub, if you use it.
- A **panel page**, such as Files, the slicer or the print queue.
- An **Academy course** - one of your account's published courses, for example a safety induction. Whoever scans it signs in first.
- **Another web address** - any address starting with https://.

||| A printed QR code can't be changed. If you point it at another web address that may move, use a link shortener you control, so you can change where it leads later.

Add a **caption** such as "Scan to sign in", and choose whether the web address is printed under it.

## Print or download a poster
Choose **Print or download** on a poster, or at the top of the editor:
- **Print** opens your browser's print dialog for the poster. In Safari the poster opens in a new tab instead: print it from there.
- **Download PDF** saves the poster as a PDF in the size you chose.
- **Have it printed as a big poster** gives you a print-ready PDF in a poster size and print shops in your country that take it. See [Getting a print room poster printed at a print shop](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/getting-a-print-room-poster-printed-at-a-print-shop-1ql7vau/).

You do not have to save a poster to print or download it. Every print and download is recorded in your account's audit log.

## Saved posters
Choose **Save poster** in the editor to keep it. Saved posters are on the **Your posters** tab for everyone in your account who can see posters, so a colleague at another site can print the same poster. An account can save up to 100 posters.

## Who can see and make posters
Two permissions in **Settings > Organization > User groups** decide this:
- **See print room posters** - open the posters and print or download them.
- **Make, change and delete posters** - make new posters, change saved ones and delete them.

Both are on by default for administrators and for user groups that manage or assign Academy courses. Give **See print room posters** to anyone who should print the posters, and keep **Make, change and delete posters** for the people who look after the print room.
