48" x 36" Paper Posters
Low cost semi gloss paper posters and signs can be taped to the wall with removable poster tape or attached to a window with tape or suction cups. Full color printed on a 8pt paper. Since these are made of paper it is suggested that you use suction cups for hanging in windows that have condensation. For dry windows you can simply stick the posters to the windows with either a double sided clear tape or some other tape. In either case clear tape will look the best.

I realized I sent the wrong file when I received the proof, what do I do?
No worries, this is why we send proofs! If you realized something is wrong in your artwork or you sent the wrong file, simply respond to the graphics proof email and let them know if you are sending a new file or have changes to your design online artwork. Our graphics team will always send you updated proofs, and nothing goes to print without your approval.
I approved of the proof then realized it was wrong, what do I do?
We work pretty fast over here, once the proof is approved it moves to production pretty quickly. If you realize the proof was wrong after approving contact us as soon as possible. We can try to holt production if your order has not started to print yet. Once it starts printing it will be hard to pull it back at that point so the sooner you can let us know the better chances we have to stop it.
