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 and research group in the filename.

Decide what size poster you require. 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.

Poster Summary

  • PDF/A-1 file
