4 Things To Think About When Poster Printing

Posters are a flexible print option that can be used on walls, bulletin boards, or windows. When designed well, posters are highly visible and stand out even in high-traffic areas. Bestype Printing creates quality posters and will assist with getting crisp lines and vivid colors. Here are four things to think about when poster printing:

1. Design and Layout

Posters are a visual medium, and the layout of the images and text can impact how a viewer processes information. Brighter colors and high-contrast colors stand out to users. Large and out-of-alignment elements may also be more eye-catching. Use whitespace to draw the eye toward certain elements or employ repeating styles to suggest content is related.

Determine appropriate fonts, colors, and images for your business and consult professional designers to create a superior poster. At Bestype Printing, our team has experience creating custom posters and can offer layout suggestions for your project. Regardless of the design elements, we’re available to create a poster with crisp graphics and accurate colors.

2. Image Quality

High-resolution images impact the clarity and effectiveness of your final poster. Aim for the highest resolution and high DPI images for printing posters of any size. Dots per inch, or DPI, is a printing term used to determine how many ink droplets a printer uses per inch when printing an image. A higher DPI will increase printing quality.

Before finalizing your poster, check the design on different devices to make sure it appears clear and detailed in varying sizes. Image clarity can differ from screen to screen, and a poster that looks clear on your phone may not print clearly when enlarged. With years of experience in poster printing, Bestype Printing recommends incorporating bleeds and large images for attention-grabbing results. Bleed printing refers to extending your poster’s design elements slightly beyond the trim line, creating a seamless print without unintentional white borders. Part of our process also involves checking the image file quality so we can deliver your project according to your timeline and specifications.

3. Paper and Printing Material

The material your poster is printed on plays a role in how the final product looks and how long it lasts. Professionals from Bestype Printing can help match your design and materials. We offer high-quality heavyweight paper and upgraded super heavyweight with a matte finish that minimizes glare. Our gloss options work well for posters with striking photos or imagery. A poster board option is stiff and ultra-thick to help your poster remain straight when hanging or framing.

4. Size and Dimensions

Depending on the application of your poster, standard sizing and dimensions may be required. Bestype Printing offers several custom options, including large-format poster printing and special shapes and die cuts. Checking the aspect ratio of your design helps keep all elements scaled correctly for printing. Incorrect ratios can result in images or designs that appear squished or stretched.
