You may never have a need for poster printing in your life, but if you are reading this, then perhaps you do. Posters are often used for political campaigns, and a lot of band use them for promotion. There are other reasons you may need them, though these tend to be the most common. If you need them, you dont want to skimp and get something that doesnt look good. When you print out posters you are printing out your image. You dont want something shoddy to reflect on your reputation or your cause.
If you need poster printing, you will have to look around for a good deal. Right now, my husbands band is going through the process. They are planning to spend a thousand dollars on promotional posters to hang in clubs. They are booking shows up and down the east coast, and they need something sleek to get people in the door. Though the poster printing is going to be done through their booking agent, they do have a lot of say in the layout and where they want to get it done.
You need to find a good printing company that does poster printing. You want to get as many as you need and then some. If you print a few, you are going to have to go back and get more before you know it. It is always better to get more than you need so you dont run out. There are fees involved in poster printing that you dont want to have to pay more often than you need to. Also remember that the more you get done at one time, the less you will pay per poster in the end.
Make sure you have a high quality photograph to use for poster printing. If your picture is too small and you try to stretch it out it is not going to look good. Make sure you choose vibrant colors for your font or your posters will not get noticed. If you are going for poster printing for the first time, you may want to look through a lot of examples before you do your layout to be sure you arent making any mistakes. Dont be afraid to ask for opinions from the people in your life, and you may even want to ask someone in the shop when you go in for the final printing.
