Poster printing is highly affordable personalised wall art
Poster printing is a comfortable way to get your favourite
pictures in an economical
format which you can then
hang up on your
wall in just a few seconds. As children and teenagers, we used to enjoy hanging up
posters of our favourite stars, cartoon
heroes, singers and
movie characters. Instead of printing them out, we would run off to the kiosk to
buy the last magazine, tear out the
poster sheets and hang them up on our
bedroom wall. By
printing a poster online,
greater freedom to
design every single feature is offered: the
picture theme,
print size, the actual
text &
fonts and further
photography effects can be selected and
personalised. In addition,
custom posters cover a wide range of themes and occasions, including:
- wedding pics,
- newborn babies,
- holiday and sightseeing pictures (e.g. landscapes, buildings, monuments),
- family reunions,
- special events and meetings with friends,
- your favourite animal or pet.
Funny themes for online poster printing
As
printing a poster online is so easy, posters are often
designed as fast
personalised photo gifts for friends and relatives. Offer them to your children, to your
boyfriend or
girlfriend or to your work colleagues. In the
United Kingdom, some funny phrases and
memes have become widespread standards to
make a poster. A few examples of these funny poster phrases are:
- "Keep Calm And ..."
- "I Must Be A Mermaid",
- "It Could Happen To You" ,
- "I Must Be A Mushroom ".
With
personalised poster printing, only you set the rules. Make a poster for your children's
birthdays, for
Valentine's Day, as a
Christmas gift, for a
graduation,
anniversaries or simply as a
thank you gift.
Make your own poster: design tips for poster printing
Making your own poster is nowadays easier than ever. With just one good picture, a nice message and your personal
computer, you will be well prepared to make a poster online. If the picture is powerful, you won't really need to add much to it to make it look good. Nonetheless, there are a few aspects you should consider before starting to use myphotobook's online
poster maker software. Picture
quality,
size and the
hanging system are some the topics that we discuss in the following section:
What's the best resolution for poster printing?
The bigger the poster you want to print is, the more important it becomes to use an image with
sufficient image resolution. The
output resolution provided by your
photographic camera or
smartphone will vary from one model to the other.
However, to find out the
maximum allowed size for your picture, divide the picture
length and
heigth expressed in
pixels by 25. As a result, a 3568 x 2368 pixel image can be printed in a maximum 142 x 94 cm size. For
optimal resolution, divide the number of pixels by 60, if a part of the picture has been extended to make it look bigger, the resolution needed could be
higher. By providing the
right resolution, you can avoid having to send back the poster if it doesn't turn out as you expected (for instance, if the pictures look
blurry). In any event, remember that myphotobook UK offers
satisfaction guarantee. Please note that any images you
upload to our
online poster maker should follow the
sRGB colour pattern. Although for poster printing it is generally recommended to use a
CMYK colour modell, our software will automatically transform them into CMYK.
What's the best way to hang a poster?
Thumb tacks and
pins aren't really the
safest methods to up posters, especially if your
poster keeps falling off the wall. Besides, both the poster and wall could get damaged. Although
adhesive strips usually work better, after some time they will also start to turn yellowish. The best way to hang a poster is to
frame it. For this, we suggest having a look at myphotobook's
framed prints (in
acrylic or
aluminium) and foam core
mounted prints (Forex®). Forex
mounted posters are indeed an
easy and
economical solution to hang up your pictures on a weatherproof PVC board.
What sizes are available for poster printing?
myphotobook offers you a huge variety of poster sizes for
printing purposes: 20x20 cm (7.8 x 7.8") is the smallest and 300x 100 cm (118.1 x 39.3") the biggest. Some other popular sizes for poster printing are:
- A1 poster printing (59.4 x 84.1) 23.3x33.1"
- A2 poster printing (42 x 59.4) 16.5x23.3"
- A3 poster printing (29.7 x 42) 11.69x16.5"
Also the
price of printing a personalised poster varies depending on the size.
Cheap posters in a 20x20 cm size can be
ordered from £4.49, whereas an
extra-large poster (300x 100 cm) can cost £110.99. As in other types of personalised wall art, a choice of landscape or portrait orientation, as well as
square formats are in included in our online shop selection.
Hint: especially with square sizes, a
photo collage (designed with a combination of different pictures) is a good choice. As for pictures and
portraits of people, switching to
black & white provides a simple and elegant look full of emotions. In addition, face features will be better profiled.
How it works
Is it the first time your
order a poster online? If yes, we recommend you to go through the following steps to guarantee a
successful order:
- measure the wall area where you would like to hang the poster;
- consider if it should be a square, portrait or landscape poster - this is heavily dependant on the original picture;
- check the image resolution and observe if the picture is good enough to be printed in the desired size;
- save different versions of the picture on your computer desktop (with different levels of contrast, brightness or with filters);
- go to our website myphotobook.co.uk and open up the online designer (or download the software on your computer);
- upload the picture,
- try out different backgrounds, cliparts, frames and visual effects;
- if you are satisfied with the final result, double-check it in preview modus.
Once the
designing phase is completed, you can add the
billing details, check the expected
delivery date, and select how you would like to pay. Last but not least, your order will
confirmed per e-mail. Your personalised poster will be swiftly
delivered at any address within
Great Britain!
