PREPARATION FOR PRINTING

• Make a small print out of your poster on 11 x 17” (tabloid) paper to make sure everything is where you expect it to be.

• For best results save Illustrator an InDesign files as a pdf (Portable File Format). If you give your vendor a .pdf file you do not need to submit fonts or images.

• If you have used fonts other than Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, or Times New Roman submit these fonts with your PowerPoint, Adobe Illustrator or InDesign file to the vendor who will be printing your poster.

• If you use Abode Illustrator or InDesign to create the poster, and you plan to submit these file formats, include all of the image files and fonts with the project files to the vendor.

• Check with the vendor who will be printing the poster. Make sure they have a current version of Illustrator or InDesign, if you are submitting either of these file formats.

• Double check that all of your images and graphic elements are in RGB color mode.
