How it works

Simply work out the number of prints you would like, add any extra options, and Add to Basket. 

If you have two different posters and you'd like one of each, then select 2 designs and 1 copy.

During checkout you'll be prompted to upload your file(s), and there'll be a box where you can write any special instructions or notes for your order.

We don't print anything automatically. We'll check your order and email you a PDF proof if necessary. This will show the final layout as it would print, and allows you to check for any mistakes.

If your file looks fine we'll get started right away, and email you once we've dispatched your order. 

File Types

• Our ideal file type is a PDF saved with 'press quality' settings, set up with cropmarks and 3mm bleed. This allows us to print edge-to-edge.
  Please see our artwork guide on how to create one of these from Canva or Adobe software. 
• For images, an RGB TIFF or maximum quality JPEG is good.
• If you are unsure about the quality of your file, zoom in on screen to 400% to get a preview of how it will print out as a poster. Posters are meant to be viewed at a distance, so some blockiness is usually OK. 
• We also accept Microsoft Word / Powerpoint / Publisher, and we can resize your file for you. 
• We'll always check your file send you a PDF proof to approve before printing. 

Large Posters: A2, A1, A0

We use a photo printer that uses fade resistant UV inks. Our machine has 9 colours, which allows for excellent RGB colour reproduction for vivid photos and graphics. We print these full bleed (edge to edge) as standard. 

• 180mic Plastic paper is tearproof, water resistant and heat resistant, but still thin like paper. It has a matt finish and is recyclable, and can be used indoors or outdoors. It is not scratch proof when wet. 
• Lamination (encapsulation) protects your posters with a double-sided plastic finish, making your posters durable and reusable and waterproof. It can be used indoors or outdoors. We print on card then laminate.  Gloss lamination is shiny and wipe clean. Matt lamination is non-reflective and dulls colours for a more subtle finish, and isn't as easy to clean. 
• All our wood-based paper is FSC-certified, from mixed and renewable resources. 

Small Posters: A4-A3

We print these on a production digital press. If you can supply a PDF with cropmarks and 3mm bleed we'll print them edge to edge. Otherwise we print with a small white margin around each edge as standard.

• 145mic Plastic paper is tearproof, waterproof and heat resistant, but still thin like paper. It has a matt finish and is recyclable, and can be used indoors or outdoors.
• 250gsm + Gloss Lamination (encapsulation) protects your posters with a double-sided plastic finish, making your posters durable and reusable and waterproof. It can be used indoors or outdoors. We print on 250gsm card then laminate. Gloss lamination is shiny and wipe clean.
