Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our academic poster printing service.
What size should my academic poster be?

UK conferences typically require A0 (841 × 1189 mm) or A1 (594 × 841 mm). US conferences commonly use 48 inches × 36 inches (122 × 91 cm) in landscape orientation. European conferences may request 100 × 70 cm. Always verify your specific conference requirements in the conference handbook or presentation guidelines before ordering. If your conference uses non-standard sizes, we can accommodate custom dimensions.

How do I know if my poster will print correctly?

Our team performs a quality check on every file before printing. We verify: resolution is sufficient (300 DPI minimum), dimensions match your order, colour profile is correct (RGB for screen, CMYK for print – we convert automatically), fonts are embedded, and images aren’t pixelated. If we identify any issues, we’ll contact you via email or phone before proceeding with printing.

Do you offer discounts for multiple posters or group orders?

Yes. Research groups, departments, and conference organizers qualify for bulk discounts on orders of 5+ posters. Contact us at Info@academicposter.uk with your requirements for a custom quote. We can coordinate delivery to a single location or individual addresses as needed.

What file format should I submit?

We accept PDF, PowerPoint (PPTX), Adobe Illustrator (AI), and high-resolution JPEG files. PDF is strongly recommended as it preserves fonts, colours, and image quality exactly as you designed them. When exporting from PowerPoint, use ‘Save As PDF’ with ‘Best quality for printing’ option. Minimum resolution: 300 DPI for optimal print quality. Maximum file size: 500MB.

What's the difference between the paper types?
  • Standard Satin (180gsm): Cost-effective, slight sheen reduces glare, ideal for single presentations
  • Premium Satin (200gsm): Thicker feel, enhanced colour vibrancy, better for multiple uses
  • Fabric: Wrinkle-resistant, foldable, reusable, perfect for frequent travellers
  • Premium Matte (260gsm): Zero glare, heavyweight, archival quality, best for photography
Can I get a proof before you print my poster?

Yes! Simply add a note to your order requesting a digital proof. We’ll email you a preview of your poster before printing so you can check everything looks correct. This service is completely free and recommended for important presentations.
