Re: [Organizers] Contra Etiquette poster - Organizers

22 Aug 2017

One more thing: In printing this poster through a professional print
establishment, they told me its actual size was 11x15.5. It would be
recommended to print the poster as this size, rather than squish it or
stretch it to fit other sizes of paper. I am planning on printing 5 and
laminating them, for use at all my dances. Whether they go on the wall, or
are passed around by hand (which I would do for outdoor events), laminating
them will preserve their quality, and can allow you to print on lighter
paper. It's worth the money.
