File Preparation Tips
- Your poster should fit on paper either 36″ wide or 42″ wide. 的 advertised maximum 打印 length is 175 meters, but in reality, this will depend on how much paper is 在滚动.
- 的 打印er margins are 0.2 inches all around. Rolls of paper are a little short, i.e., 35.8″和41.8″ instead of 36″和42″. 所以最好 允许0.5″ margins to be safe. See illustration below. Only the area in blue will 打印.
- Make sure your file is high resolution. If using Adobe Acrobat to create your file,
don’t use the default settings. You have to go into Properties and select High Quality
打印.
