How it works

Choose your poster size, paper type, quantity and turnaround, then add to basket.

After checkout, you'll be asked to upload your file. You can also leave a note if you have any special instructions.

If you have several different poster designs, enter the total number of designs as the number of pages. For example, if you need two different posters, choose 2 pages and 1 copy.

We check your file before printing. If anything needs confirming, we'll email you before we go ahead.

Once your order is printed, we'll email you when it is ready for collection or has been dispatched.

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. 

File Types

• Our ideal file type is a PDF saved with 'press quality' settings or an RGB TIFF.
  Files saved in RGB colour mode come out more vivid. 
• Matt coated 180gsm card is the most popular choice, suitable for most posters. It has a non-reflective matt finish, and is suitable for indoor use only. 
• Photo satin 190gsm card is shinier than matt, as is best for photo prints or particularly black designs. It really enhances any sharp, vivid colours, and is suitable for indoor use only. 
• Plastic paper 180mic is tearproof, water resistant and heat resistant, but still thin like paper. It has a matt finish and is recyclable, and is a cheaper alternative to lamination. 
• 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.

• 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.
