How To Print The Perfect Poster
The Jakprints Guide To Pro Poster Printing

STEP 01: FILE SETUP

CMYK
If your design is going to make it to paper, design in the CMYK color mode. It'll give you more accurate colors to the final printed product over RGB Colors (for screen use).
300 DPI
Crisp prints start with high resolution. Set your DPI (Dots Per Inch) to 300. You also may find this as PPI or 'Points Per Inch' depending on which software you're using. 
Setting up your file at actual print size goes hand-in-hand with your resolution. Make sure your artboard is at the correct size for the poster you're printing! Our popular sizes vary from the traditional 11 x 17" gig poster all the way up to the oversized 22 x 28" movie posters. 
TRIM, BLEED & SAFETY
Along with setting up your artwork size, include .125" on each side for bleed. This area ensures any elements in your artwork extend all the way to edge of the print.

STEP 02: PROOFING

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR DESIGN
There's nothing worse than getting your posters back and finding a typo. Ask a friend to check over the details, it'll take just a few minutes to ensure all your details are correct.

STEP 03: OUTPUT

To keep file sizes down on larger projects, we usually prefer PDF, AI, PSD, EPS or TIFF formats. Just make sure you outline or rasterize any text prior to saving so it, to ensure nothing drops out on our end. Only got a JPEG? We'll make it work as long as it's high-resolution and saved out at print size. 

STEP 04: PRINTING

OFFSET PRINTING
Your best bet for high-quantity printing. In addition to affordable bulk pricing, offset printing gives you stunning results, setup and inspected for quality and color by our professional team.
DIGITAL PRINTING
Perfect for low-quantity runs and ultra-large prints. You'll still get a quality print, but not as many stock options as offset printing provides. See our digital posters here.
