To get a poster, it’s relatively easy. All you have to do is design the poster and leave the rest of the work to a printing service. While they produce your poster, you only need to wait. However, the designing process is really important. You can’t rely on a good printing process to get an outstanding poster. First, you have to make sure that you can design a poster that is not only attractive but also friendly for printing processes. Here are some things to pay attention to as you design so that you can be sure to make a design that is compatible with high quality printing.
1. Design Resolution
Remember to work at 300 dpi. The entirety of the design that you make must be of that resolution, minimum. The resolution of 300 dpi ensures high quality printing because it will retain its quality and result in sharp graphics no matter how big you print your poster later on. It is important to make sure that your poster displays crisp images and graphics so that it can look attractive and professional as well, ensuring people that the message you convey on the design of the poster is something that people can trust or believe by appearing convincing and proper.
2. Paper Size and Type
There are several different types of paper that you can choose for poster printing in Singapore. They may vary in thickness, quality, durability, as well as size. First, you have to know where you will put your poster in and the purpose of it so that you can determine the best size to help you achieve your targets. Then, make sure that the paper type to print your poster has the size that you want. Choosing the right type of paper material for poster printing includes the consideration of whether you will put or use your poster outdoors or indoors, which is really important to think about. Some types of paper are better for outdoor uses, some can last longer indoors. If you want to get the most of your poster, then make sure you know which one is right for the purpose of your poster.
3. Use CMYK colors
Making sure that you design your poster in CMYK colors is very important because CMYK color processing is used to print your colors onto the poster paper. If you design in RGB and print with CMYK colors, which is most commonly used by a lot of printers, then you might get inaccurate color results. To avoid this, it is important to design in CMYK and print with CMYK colors as well.’
4. Proofreading
Proofreading or doing a final check of the design ensures that there is no mistake in the design of the poster. But, it does not always only check on the mistakes in the content. During the proofreading process, it is also important to check the resolution of the poster you design in as well as making sure that the colors are already in CMYK. If not, you can convert RGB colors into CMYK colors in several easy steps.
