Printing & Display


What’s the best way to print these posters?
 

For best results, we recommend:

  • Using ‘actual size’ or ‘100%’ scaling in your printer settings

How can I keep my printed posters looking their best? 

To maintain your posters’ appearance and durability:

  • Laminate them for protection against wear and tear

  • Consider frame mounting for a professional finish
  • Store flat when not in use to prevent creasing
