There are two locations in Wichita, so you can select which would be most convenient for you to pick up your print job.

Prices are calculated on a per square foot prince. So for 36" x 48" poster (12 square feet) on a medium weight paper in full color, the cost is $2.95 per square foot, making the tri-fold size, $35.40 + tax.

They recommend emailing your print job: ks105@postnet.com or if it easier, you can bring it on a flash drive. However, depending upon their workflow they may not be able to print it immediately. If they are not able to print it immediately, it should be ready in just a day or two. The nursing students have used this service for several years and have been pleased with the results.

A 24" x 36" can be uploaded, printed and picked up at the store location of your choice. Depending on your paper choices, prices for this size begin at $19.99 and go up from there. However, this size is not the correct size for your tri-fold board.

A 36" x 48" can be uploaded and printed, however, this size is only available for delivery. When I checked, delivery was free, but the printing took longer, so keep that in mind if you opt for this service. Prices for this size begin at $39.99 and go up from there, depending upon your paper choice. This is the optimal size for your tri-fold board.

We think that using the least expensive paper option is feasible, you'll be attaching it to your cardboard tri-fold board, so there shouldn't be issues with the heaviness/weight of the paper, thinner probably works best for this!
