Frequently asked questions
Which poster size should I choose?+
A3/A2 for indoor and window display, A1/A0 for public display read from a distance.
Will the colours be accurate?+
Yes, CMYK printing on professional paper; we check your file before printing.
Can I print just one poster?+
Yes, from a single unit, with unit prices that decrease with quantity.
Which paper for outdoor display?+
115 gsm poster paper: weather resistant, with a blue back that stops the surface behind showing through, ideal for pasting and billboards. 80 gsm fluorescent paper (yellow, green or red, printed in black) catches the eye even in poorly lit spots. To last for weeks outdoors: 2.5 mm fluted display board or a rigid sign.
Does a finish protect against rain?+
UV varnish and lamination strengthen the poster and intensify the colours, but do not make it 100% waterproof (the edges are not sealed). For long exposure to the weather, choose poster paper, fluted display board or a banner.
Double-sided poster in a window: which paper weight?+
Choose at least 170 gsm: show-through between front and back is greatly reduced. For a pavement sign, A1 in 115 or 135 gsm is the standard.
What resolution for my poster artwork?+
150 dpi at final size is enough for a poster viewed from a distance; aim for 250 dpi for a photo poster viewed up close. 2 mm bleed on all sides. Our free AI analysis + human check verify this before printing.
