General advice for poster printing
The three most important things we need to print your poster are:
- The file
- An A4 sample printout
- A copy of any 'non standard' fonts you may have used
Please refer to our Poster Printing Guide for advice on producing a successful poster file - it is full of information on getting started as well as tips and suggestions on various software packages.
