TEMPLATES located here: O:\Posters


BEFORE SENDING TO PRINTER
-------------------------

36" x 72" templates = 3 x 6 feet 
44" x 90" templates = 3.66 x 7.5 feet

These posters are in PowerPoint, where the page set-up is 
exactly HALF the size as the final print product. 
(i.e. 36" x 72" template is 18" x 36" on your page-setup in PowerPoint)

The printer should be aware that this poster output 
must be DOUBLE or 200% of this size. Most know this. 

FONT & SIZE LABELING: Therefore, because posters print 200%, the font size listed on the template 
will output DOUBLE the size as labeled (i.e. 50 point headlines will really be 100 point when printed).

GRAPHICS: Should be the highest resolution, at 150-300 dpi to output correctly. AVOID SMALL WEB GRAPHICS.
