Scientific poster FAQ
What is the turnaround time for printing from my finalized poster file?
Two days, three days with optional lamination. Rush service is available. We can accept poster files from Powerpoint, Illustrator, Coreldraw, InDesign, or from your .pdf file.
What is the turnaround for posters designed by Chrome from my data?
We recommend allowing approximately two weeks for the entire process. Data is usually submitted to us in Word or Powerpoint files. Proofs of your layout are provided to you via Acrobat PDF file, usually within three days. You then submit revisions and a new PDF file is quickly returned to you for further review. When all data is complete and accurate, we will print your poster and have it ready for delivery within a couple of days. To discuss your poster layout, please contact Cathy K. at 619-233-3456.
How do I submit my files to you?
Poster files can be e-mailed to output@chromedigital.com, or uploaded via FTP (recommended for files larger than 5MB). Please call 619-233-3456 to notify us of your e-mail or FTP submission. We will need to obtain your contact information, and description of your job including the final poster size.
Do I need to have my poster laminated?
We offer lamination for customers who want a more durable, moisture- and wrinkle-resistant poster, however, it is optional. Our photo paper is substantial, and if you handle the poster with care to avoid wrinkling and contact with moisture, it will travel well in a tube and look great at your meeting.
How can I take delivery of my poster?
Chrome is conveniently located near San Diego International Airport, so it's easy to pick it up on your way to catch your flight out of town. Also, we can ship posters via FedEx or UPS directly to your office or meeting. Courier delivery is available in the Sorrento Mesa/Golden Triangle area.
