The UI Libraries do not have printers that can print anything larger than 8.5" x 11" paper.

Although they can't print anything larger than 8.5" x 11", the Main Library and most of the branch libraries have large bed scanners that can scan large documents and send the scan to your email or save it to a flashdrive. 

The Design Center at the UI Health Care Medical Center can print large format banners and posters for a fee.  It serves the Carver College of Medicine. The fee structure for the Design Center is listed below.

Large Format Pricing*
$18-$35 fee + paper/fabric:
- Matte paper: $6/sq ft
- Semi-gloss paper: $7/sq ft
- Foldable fabric: $9/sq ft

*A $50.00 rush fee will be charged for requests sent less than 24 hours before requested pick-up date/time.

For printing outside of the Carver College of Medicine, contact the UI Printing Center.  The different products and services are detailed at https://printmail.fo.uiowa.edu/products-services#wideformat

If you need to print an 11" x 17" document, you can also try the Digital Media Lab at the Iowa City Public Library.
