Printing Restrictions
- Paper size and type is currently limited to 42" rolls of Hi-Res gloss photo paper.
Formatting Guidelines
- Set poster dimensions to a height of 42". If you set dimensions to 36", you'll need to cut off the excess.
- Format posters with a vector graphic application such as Adobe Illustrator, and embed all images and fonts.
- Full poster-sized PDF format is also suitable.
- Note: Microsoft PowerPoint is not a suitable format and cannot be scaled without distorting.
- PowerPoint is meant for projection, not print, graphics.
- Proof-read your poster before submitting for printing. We do not have the resources to re-print posters.

Printing Tips & Suggestions
- Resize images to the correct dimensions and resolution before placing in a poster file.
- Oversized images placed in a file and then resized to smaller dimensions can result in an oversized file that takes longer to upload, process and print. And resolution will be lost.
- For example, do not place a 8" x 10" 600 dpi image in a poster file that needs to end up as 2" x 3" 150 dpi image.
- Likewise, undersized images placed in a file and resized to larger dimensions can print out as pixelated and grainy.
- Create a new image file when needing a portion of an existing image
- Crop image as needed and save as a new image file.
- Do not use masks, which can cause unpredictable results, even if images are flattened.
- Always create a new poster file.
- In other words, don't reuse a past template. Errors and unseen masks or elements that were remnants from previous posters can effect the printing of the new poster.
