If you have several files to send, we suggest you ZIP them together ("Stuff-It" on the Mac) into a single file, it's faster for us both. Zipping larger files is always appreciated! If you have any trouble transmitting files, give us a call.
If you prefer to send us electronic media, we support flash drives and CD, DVD and Blu-Ray disks.
A word about proportions: Height and width of your original file must be proportional to the height and width of the finished poster size. Download an excel print sizer or see the chart below.

Fonts- We have the fonts that are supplied with the listed programs. If you have a font you bought elsewhere, send the font file along with your program file. It is a big help if you convert your fonts to curves in the programs like Corel, Illustrator, and Freehand.
Photos- Scanned in photos should be 72-100 dpi in their final size. This is about 250 kb of jpg per square foot of final size. If, for example, you are scanning a 3"X5" photo that will be 6"X10" on your poster, scan at 200 dpi. to have a 100 dpi image when printed.
A word about digital photographs- a 480x640 pixel digital picture should not be any larger than about 8x10" on your research poster. A 2 megapixel digital picture is 1200x1600 pixels and takes about half a megabyte of space on your hard drive. We find these can be printed up to16x22" size on your poster. More megapixels are usually unnecessary unless the photo is going to be very large.
