Printing essentials
Choosing the right poster size starts with understanding the A-series standard. A4 measures 210 × 297 millimetres, while A1 reaches 594 × 841 millimetres—each step doubles the area. This European standard ensures your design scales predictably across any space. GSM, or grams per square metre, measures paper weight and density. A 250 GSM stock feels substantial and archival; 150 GSM offers a lighter touch. Matte finishes reduce glare and suit photography; gloss delivers colour saturation and presence. Before printing, prepare your files at 300 DPI and convert to CMYK for accurate colour reproduction. For wallpaper installation, measure your walls carefully, prime any uneven surfaces, and apply adhesive evenly to avoid bubbles. Framing requires finding wall studs for heavy pieces and using appropriate anchors for drywall. These fundamentals—size, weight, finish, preparation, installation—ensure your custom print arrives and stays exactly as you imagined.
