Underestimating Quantity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes company owners make when printing posters is <strong>ordering the absolute minimum.<\/strong> You might think you only need 100 posters for a specific event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you often find new opportunities to display your message once the prints arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you run out, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/short-run-posters\/\">second small print run<\/a> will <strong>cost significantly more per unit than the first one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/print-on-demand-vs-offset-printing\/\">Offset printing<\/a> involves <strong>high setup costs for labor and materials.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the press is running, the cost of adding more posters is very low. You should always <strong>calculate a buffer of at least 10 percent.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures you have <strong>extra copies for damaged posters or unexpected locations.<\/strong> Planning your quantity ahead of time is one of the best ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/how-to-track-roi-flyers-posters\/\">maximize your return on investment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Wrong_File_Format\"><\/span>2.

These programs are <strong>not built for professional printing. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They do not handle transparencies or color layers correctly. This often results in a ruined print run where the final product looks nothing like your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/tutorials\/file-dimensions-and-pdf-boxes\/\">High quality PDFs<\/a> are the industry standard. They preserve your layout and ensure your colors remain stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some printers also <strong>accept TIFF or JPEG files<\/strong> if the resolution is high enough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At ChilliPrinting, we provide <strong>specific Adobe Acrobat job options<\/strong> to help you export your files correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always trust your printer&#8217;s requirements over your own assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/how-to-prepare-print-files-chillipriting\/\">How to Prepare Your Print Files For ChilliPrinting<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Low_or_Incorrect_Resolution\"><\/span>3. Low or Incorrect Resolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Image resolution for print is very different from screen resolution. Your computer monitor only needs 72 DPI to look sharp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a physical poster, you need 300 DPI images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use a low resolution file, your poster will look grainy and pixelated. This is a common issue when people pull images directly from their websites or social media pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, setting your resolution too high can also cause problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Files over 354 DPI are unnecessarily large. They slow down the processing time and may require the printer to manually downsize them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can introduce new errors into the design. Aim for the sweet spot between 300 and 350 DPI for the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/print-resolution\/\">Print Resolution Guide for CEOs: DPI, PPI &amp; Pro Tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-d0511252 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left-title uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-image-valign-middle info-box-background-color\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-title-image\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M480 179.6C498.6 188.4 512 212.1 512 240C512 267.9 498.6 291.6 480 300.4V448C480 460.9 472.2 472.6 460.2 477.6C448.3 482.5 434.5 479.8 425.4 470.6L381.7 426.1C333.7 378.1 268.6 352 200.7 352H192V480C192 497.7 177.7 512 160 512H96C78.33 512 64 497.7 64 480V352C28.65 352 0 323.3 0 288V192C0 156.7 28.65 128 64 128H200.7C268.6 128 333.7 101 381.7 53.02L425.4 9.373C434.5 .2215 448.3-2.516 460.2 2.437C472.2 7.39 480 19.06 480 32V179.6zM200.7 192H192V288H200.7C280.5 288 357.2 317.8 416 371.3V108.7C357.2 162.2 280.5 192 200.7 192V192z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Pro Printing Tip!<\/h4><\/div><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">In printing, resolution refers to the number of dots of ink per inch.

You should also be careful with high ink coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the total percentage of your four colors exceeds 300 percent, the paper can become oversaturated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This causes the posters to stick together or take too long to dry.

You should always <strong>include a buffer of at least 5 days for your project.<\/strong> This allows time for a preflight check and any necessary file revisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wait until the last minute, you lose the ability to fix errors.

High humidity rooms like bathrooms require more durable paper stocks and blueblack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are shipping your posters to multiple locations, make sure you have a plan for packaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the <strong>wrong size box or weak tape<\/strong> can result in creased or damaged prints before they even reach the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Prioritizing_Price_Over_Quality\"><\/span>10.
