Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Outdoor Poster for print:

  1. Choose Outdoor Poster size 
    To design your Outdoor Poster and prepare it for printing with Cloudprinter.com, select one of the available sizes at Cloudprinter.com.
  2. Set Outdoor Poster bleeds  
    The next step is setting the bleed areas at each side of your Outdoor Poster to make sure all important information is kept safe. For this, simply add 10 mm (0.394 in) at each side of the Outdoor Poster. Make sure your information is within the bleed limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Outdoor Poster design extend to the bleeds area as well, so that there are no white edges after cutting the Outdoor Poster. We recommend avoiding placing text or important information inside of the safe zone — the 20 mm (0.787 in) inside of the cutting edge in order not to be clipped when cutting the Outdoor Poster. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Outdoor Poster.
  3. Prepare Outdoor Poster file for printing 
    • Set 300 DPI resolution;
    • Choose RGB colour model;
    • Save the file in PDF/X-4.
Well done! Now you can print your Outdoor Poster all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.
