Question

What file format does 4OVER4 recommend for poster printing?

Answer

4OVER4 accepts several PDF flavors for posters, and a couple of them work best when image quality is critical.

  • High Quality Print PDF
  • PDF/X-1a
  • PDF/X-4
  • Press Quality PDF

If you see pixelation or banding in a preview, re-export the file as Press Quality or PDF/X-1a, and contact support for a recommendation tuned to your specific design.
