How to print:
Print at home using good-quality card or art paper.
Print at your local copy shop or online printing service. Use Satin or matt card stock paper. A heavier paper stock will work better as poster but any paper weight over 65 lb will work well.
Upload to an online print shop such as Staples.
Ensure your print is 11″ wide x 17″ high as that will ensure the type will be legible though you can scale the print down if desired.
The fine print:
This is an instant download-no physical print will be mailed.

Digital items cannot be returned so we cannot offer refunds.
