1. Choose High-Resolution Images


First things first: the quality of your images matters! Always select high-resolution images for your poster design. This ensures vibrant colours and sharp details and means your artwork will look stellar even from a distance. Our industry-leading 10-colour photo printer is capable of producing gorgeous prints when fed high-quality imagery, so don't skimp on this part!

2. Check Your Design at 100% View


Take a moment to review your design at 100% zoom. This simple step is crucial for preparing your design for poster printing. You want to confirm that all the details, text, and graphics are clear and visible. Remember, your audience will view it from a distance, so everything should be legible and aesthetically pleasing from afar.


3. Select Your Paper Stock Wisely


The type of paper you choose can significantly affect the look and feel of your poster. Think about where you'll display the finished product. We offer a variety of options:

- 220gsm Archival Matt Paper: Perfect for art-print reproductions, providing a sophisticated finish.

- 260gsm Photo Satin Paper: This option enhances colour depth and is ideal for vibrant displays.

- Waterproof Polyester: Tough rollable stock suited for outdoor posters and onsite plans, ensuring durability against the elements.

- Foamex Board: Printing on Foamex Board is a great option when a sturdier print is required. These boards are excellent for window displays, wall mounts, and easel props, maintaining vivid prints like our paper options.


4. File Upload Options


Now that your design is polished and ready, it's time to send it to us! Use our convenient file upload option, or transfer your artwork through services like WeTransfer.


If you're opting to email, please ensure the attachment is full-size. Sometimes, email services can automatically reduce file sizes, leading to a lower-quality print. We want every detail captured in your poster!


5. Wait for Your Cambridge Poster Print


After sending us your design, you won't have to wait long! Often, your poster will be printed within the same day. Once it's ready, you can collect it from our Cambridge store or request delivery straight to your doorstep.
