What materials can I choose from?
You can choose either 200gsm photosatin or 220gsm waterproof material. Photosatin gives a smooth poster finish with good colour reproduction, while waterproof material is better for more durable display use.

What is 200gsm photosatin best for?
200gsm photosatin is ideal for indoor posters, event graphics, promotional displays, artwork prints, office notices, presentations and retail messaging.

What is 220gsm waterproof best for?
220gsm waterproof material is a better choice for posters that may need extra durability, such as A-frame posters, outdoor-facing displays, temporary signage or areas where moisture may be a concern.

Can I use these posters in an A-frame?
Yes. If your poster is going into an A-frame, choose the 220gsm waterproof option for better durability. A1 posters are commonly used for A1 A-frames, and A2 posters are commonly used for A2 A-frames.

Can the posters be laminated?
Yes. Lamination is available up to A1 size on this express poster product.

Do you offer special finishes on express posters?
No. Foil, Spot UV and other special finishes are not available on this product.

Can I print different designs in one order?
Yes, different artwork versions may be possible. Please make sure each version is supplied clearly and named correctly so it can be matched to the right quantity.

Can I order a custom size?
Yes. Custom sizes are available on request. Please provide the finished width and height in millimetres.

What file format should I supply?
Please supply a print-ready PDF. This should include bleed, crop marks, embedded fonts and high-resolution images.

What resolution should images be?
Images should ideally be 300dpi at the final printed size. Low-resolution images may look blurry or pixelated when enlarged.

Can I design my poster in Canva?
Yes. Export your design as a PDF Print file with crop marks and bleed selected. Canva artwork is usually RGB, so colours may shift slightly when converted for print.

Will colours print exactly as they look on screen?
Not always. Screens use RGB colour, while print uses CMYK. Some colour variation is normal, especially with bright colours, Pantones, spot colours or RGB artwork.

Can SM1 check my artwork before print?
Yes. We can check supplied artwork and flag obvious print issues. If your file needs correction, resizing or design work, we can quote for artwork support.
