Poster Board Printing

It’s an inevitable part of having a child in a school system: the poster board school project. Often it turns out to be more work for the parents than for the child. Putting together one by hand can turn into a mess of markers and glue. If your child’s handwriting isn’t a work of art, then the end result won’t be, either. Paying to have one printed provides professional results, but using an industrial-sized printer might put a dent in your wallet. Luckily, there’s an easy, inexpensive way to create professional-looking poster boards at home: iClicknprint’s layering technique.

Although standard printers can only produce standard-sized pages, you can use any printer to create an oversized poster board using software from iClicknprint. iClicknprint divides the total board into panels that print onto standard sheets of paper. By assembling the panels, you can cover a poster board to create a professional project with a single image.

The process is simple: all you need is a poster board from Royal Brites or Geographics and a printer. The poster board can be any size. iClicknprint will know whether it requires four, six, or forty-six sheets of paper to cover it. It will even print out partial sheets to fill out the edges of the poster board perfectly. All of this is done automatically when you input the size of your poster board.

Using iClicknprint, it’s easy to see what your poster board will look like. You can place any arrangement of text on the board, along with clip art supplied from a generous collection. Arranging items and altering their size is a simple matter of clicking and dragging. The text can overlap onto as many pages as necessary—which means that the font size and images can be as large as you like. And when it comes time to print, all you need is a regular printer—no special equipment. A typical poster board will print out over six to eight sheets of paper. Take the finished result and layer it over your poster board to create the effect of a professionally printed project that’s sure to impress the classroom.
