FAQ
1. What poster sizes are available?
Overnight Prints offers posters in 11" × 17", 16" × 20", 18" × 24", 19" × 27", 20" × 20", and 24" × 36" sizes.
2. What poster material should I choose?
Choose based on how you plan to display your poster. 100# Gloss Book is a traditional paper option, while 8mil Satin Photo and 8mil Satin Gloss provide heavier alternatives for image-focused prints. The 3/16" Foam Board (Satin Matte) option provides a rigid surface for displays and presentations.
3. What is the difference between Satin Photo and Satin Gloss posters?
Both are 8mil materials, but they provide different surface finishes. Satin Photo is designed for a smoother photo-style presentation, while Satin Gloss provides a glossier appearance. Choose according to the look you want for your artwork or photography.
4. Can I order just one custom poster?
Yes. Poster quantities start at one, making it possible to print a single poster for an event, presentation, display, or individual project.
5. Can I order posters in bulk?
Yes. Depending on the options selected, poster quantities are available up to 200, making them suitable for campaigns or displays that require multiple copies.
6. What size poster should I use for an event?
It depends on the viewing distance and placement. Smaller posters can work well where people will see them up close, while larger sizes such as 18" × 24" or 24" × 36" give headlines and graphics more space to stand out from farther away.
7. What resolution should my poster design be?
For best print quality, prepare artwork at 300 DPI at the final print size whenever possible. Images enlarged beyond their original resolution may appear pixelated or blurry when printed.
8. Should I use CMYK or RGB for poster printing?
CMYK is generally recommended when preparing artwork for print because it represents the inks used during the printing process. Colors displayed in RGB on a screen may look different when printed.
9. Do posters need bleed?
If your design extends all the way to the edge, include the required bleed in your artwork so background colors and images can extend beyond the final trim line. Follow the template or file specifications for your selected poster size before uploading your design.
10. What is the difference between a poster and a flyer?
Posters are generally designed to be displayed and viewed from a distance, while flyers are usually smaller pieces intended to be handed directly to people. Posters work well for signs, announcements, and visual displays, while flyers are useful for distributing information individually.
