This poster has been designed in high resolution for professional printing.
For best results, I recommend:
• Printing on premium matte or silk paper (200–300gsm)
• Using a professional print service for the clearest detail and finish
It can be printed at home, but professional printing will give the most refined result.
If you would like this poster resized to a different size, please feel free to get in touch — I’m always happy to adjust it for you.
