View Full Version : Who makes Posters?
Where can I get a poster made please? I need a poster advertising the Caithness Cancer Support Group Meeting which I can get photocopied and then distribute to supermarket notice boards etc.
I haven't a clue how to do it on the computer which would have been ideal. I thought the voluntary office do it but apparently not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Colin Stewart has a printing business (above the Flower Patch) next to the river in Wick
Fran PM me with the details of the meetings and I will do some for you and drop them off to you.

Thank you so much, have sent you a pm. Meeting is on 4th November so need lots of publicity.

A cheap and cheerful alternative to getting a company to print posters is to get yourself a free program off the internet called, rasterbator.
It Increases the size of your pic without loss of quality and you can print the poster to a size you would like using sheets of A4 paper instead of one big sheet.

Not copying any more, but colour laser printing up to A3 or larger using tiled A3 sheets :D.

Yes along the same lines, but using A3 sheets means less sheets to tape together :D. 2 examples here (http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z98/Bobinovich/DianaBanner.jpg) and here (http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z98/Bobinovich/JackieBanner.jpg) both using 8 A3 portrait sheets. Also these were printed from high-quality vector images which are much sharper than rasterised images.
I'm not wanting a big poster, just the usual small ad to put in shop windows advertising a meeting.

Can do large and small posters Fran - TBH simply mentioned how to do larger-scale ones so I was explaining the difference between the program they suggested & why my own method produced crisper images.

Why thank you :D
