Mile End Post Room (most likely for SPCS users)

Good Practice for Preparing Posters for Print Shops
If you wish to have a Research Poster printed it is good practice to prepare a PDF/A-1 file which has your name, date and page-size in the filename.
Decide what page-size poster you require (A0,A1,A2 etc). Refer to conference details to see if they have a specific size or maximum size.
Some printers sometimes have problems with "transparancy" so try to avoid this if possible.
