 Here are some tips and tricks to prepare and print posters with the [[http://reprographie.epfl.ch|Reprographie]] service (a.k.a. repro).
 ===== EPFL Logos =====
-Do /not/ use a bitmap logo (JPG, PNG, etc.) but use the official vector logo instead, available [[http://www.epfl.ch/repro/en/download/index.htm|here]]. Use the version in CMYK colors "for Illustrator".

+You can upload your poster on the repro sever by accessing smb://repro/public/plans/ using Nautilus in Gnome, for instance, or just anything that supports Samba shared drives. You can then order the poster using a "bon de commande", but it seems that walking there and telling them where your file is works as well, and does not even upset them (probably doesn't work if it happens to be the time of year when architecture students all print their plans).
