QMUL CopyShop Posters (A0,A1,A2)

TheCopyShop can print posters including on fabric which might be easier to transport to international conferences. Talk to your supervisor to obtain a budget code (or for private prints you will have to pay yourself).

Refer to the Copy Shop links above for details on cost, lead-time, artwork formats etc that they can provide. Some generic advice is given below.

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.

Poster Summary

  • PDF/A-1 file
  • Your name and date and page-size in the filename
  • State Size Required (A0,A1,A2,A3 etc)
