- What is Posters1st turn-around time?
We will ship your poster within 2 business days. Orders received after 12:00 noon
Eastern Time will be considered received on the next business day. Obviously,
if the file you send us is not ready to print, we cannot guarantee a turn-around
time.
- How do I get you my file?
Place your order online. Part of the process is uploading your file.
- What are my payment options?
We accept American Express, Mastercard and Visa.
- What size do I set up my PowerPoint® slide?
Setup your slide to a size that is proportional to the final printed size (our
templates are already setup for you). For example, if your poster is to be
90"X42", set up the PowerPoint® slide for 45"X21" (in this case, half-size).
Please note: PowerPoint® was designed with a 56" upper limit.
- What fonts should I use?
Be careful with fonts. We recommend "Arial" for sans-serif and "Times Roman" (not "Times New Roman") for serif fonts.
Use the "Symbol" font for Greek.
- How do I move my table and text information into my slide?
Tables and text can be copied from Word® and pasted into
PowerPoint® text boxes. You can then select and change font type and size as needed.
- How do I move my Excel® charts into my slide?
When Excel® charts are required: from within Excel®, select your chart,
use edit-copy, and then edit-paste into PowerPoint®.
The chart can then be stretched to fit as required. If you need to edit parts of the chart, it will probably need to be ungrouped.
- I like to use background colors in my PowerPoint® slides, any issues for printing?
No printing issues, however, we don't recommend the use of color backgrounds for your poster. They look fine for screen presentations but really detract from wide format
printed material.
- How do I insert images into my slide?
Images saved in a tif or jpg format will work best. Use "insert-picture-from file" when inserting your images.
- What are the scanning requirements?
Photographs and other scanned images should be about 100 dpi in their final size. For example, a scanned
2"X4" image that will become 4"X8" on the poster should be scanned at 200 dpi.
If your image looks poor on the screen, it will almost certainly look worse when printed.
- Any other major issues?
Make sure the contents of your poster fall within the slide's borders. Anything that falls outside the slide's borders
will not print to the final poster.
