Frequently Asked Questions
Posters & Art Prints - FAQ
Q
What size of poster is best suited to my needs?
A
For art prints, artists often buy a range of sizes, often of the same image, to suit the individual needs of their clients. For advertising purposes the general rule of thumb is the bigger the better, so A2 works well and for corporate notices A4 and A3 work just fine to fit in convenient, noticeable places.
Q
What is the best material to use?
A
For sketches and watercolour art prints, our uncoated range of materials works rather well as they mimic the original material and look more authentic. Otherwise, coated papers work well for corporate notices and advertising. Whatever material you choose, we think you'll be delighted with the result.
Q
To laminate, or not to laminate?
A
Laminating serves well to protect the surface of the print but we'd never recommend laminating an uncoated material. For notices and posters hanging in areas attracting dirt or moisture we'd always recommend adding a protective laminate.
Q
What's the advantage of having posters folded?
A
Folding of large sheets can dramatically reduce the cost of postage but it's unlikely anyone would want their beautiful art print arriving with unsightly creases so in this instance, folding is not recommended. For corporate notices and advertising, a few fold lines may not be as important and postage costs are likely to be a bigger factor so that's why we offer folding as an option.
