Full colour poster print on 7 mil matte photo paper. Completely custom size, to the fraction of an inch. Rich, vibrant colour.
We don’t force you to choose from pre-set sizes. Rather, you set the length and width in inches or centimeters. Print your favourite panorama photo or fit a large poster frame.
You are able to enter any size for large posters, in fractions of an inch, up to 50″ wide and any length. Super large format printing of 4.5 feet by 10 feet is conceivable and possible.
Perhaps you measured your frame size and it is 20 5/8 inches. To enter the size in our order form, use a calculator to convert the fraction to a decimal point. 5 ÷ 8 = .625, so you enter 20.525 to get your desired measurement. More importantly, you design or crop our artwork to that size, too.
The poster paper is scratch and water resistant. Add a clear matte or gloss laminate over the inks and it doesn’t get better.
The most common large poster size is 24″ x 36″, and many frames and accessories are made to accommodate this size.
We print lots of posters for businesses, to advertise specials. Large posters are also popular for displaying personal art, motivational content, or photos.
Large poster artwork files should be the correct size for printing. Graphic files often cannot be enlarged to the size customers want the poster printed without pixilation.
pdf, jpg, or tif are suitable. png files need to be converted to pdf for printing and colours may change in the conversion from RGB to CMYK.
Proportions must also be correct to avoid any cropping.
If you have concerns about colour or cropping, it is best to request a proof. Printed proofs, viewed in the shop, will be of a portion of the image only.
While we consider a large poster any poster that cannot be printed on our digital press (ie, larger than 13″ x 19″), if you prefer to have your poster of any size printed with inks on poster paper, you can order that size. We have done beautiful “large poster” prints that were only 12″ x 16″.
That aside, the maximum length of the short side of your poster is 50″. There is no real limit to the long side. Paper rolls are 150 feet long, so a continuous print, theoretically, could be as much as 50 inches by 149 feet.
We offer matte or gloss lamination for large paper posters. Please note that lamination is on the print side only. Lamination involves pressing an optically clear vinyl pressure adhesive sheet to the print surface of the poster before trimming to size.
Unlike our small, bulk posters, which are printed on a digital press that uses toner, large posters are printed in a large format printer with inks.
Both use the CMYK colour mode. The large format printer, however, uses additional ink colours, like a dedicated orange and grey, to achieve more dramatic and stronger colour results.
The difference in size and print style results in large posters being more costly and slower to produce than small bulk posters, even for the same size. This is reflected in the price differences between the two products.

High quality posters. Excellent! I ordered three large posters for my storefront window and they were beautifully printed with great colour and definition. I’m very happy with this product. The shipping was fast and the prices great! Thank you. I’ll definitely use this print shop again.

Great quality, it’s for an A frame display within a mall so the matte finish is great for readability.

Our large poster for our home gym looks amazing! It’s thick paper, great color and came quickly. We opted for no lamination.
