Poster art has been a ubiquitous part of the American cultural landscape for fifty years now. Everybody remembers those famous black light and Peter Max posters from the 1960s. Middle-aged men today can recall the Farrah Fawcett poster they had hanging on their own wall in the 70s. And comic book collectors had every poster of their favorite superheroes festooning their bedroom walls through the 80s and 90s.
Today, posters can be found just about at any big box retail store or gallery print shop, among other kinds of art sales outlets. But for a long time, producing poster art was limited only to large publishers who could afford the setup costs and print runs. Modern desktop and large format printing technology have changed all that forever, and now any artist can put up a run of their own poster art for sale because production procedures and costs have dropped dramatically. Even the ordinary customer who wants to do a one-off poster blowup of a favorite photograph can have the job done for less than $50.Poster Printing in Hawaii as elsewhere is now an easy job that can be taken care of same day, or even within the hour. Creating the poster is a simple matter of bringing in on a thumb-drive an electronic picture file to the shop. The image is taken onto the desktop and blown up electronically to the final print size in Photoshop and then outputted on the large-format printer.
Usually, posters are produced to one of a set of standard sizes, although a custom size can be ordered. There are also a variety of papers, canvas print fabrics and printing-grade vinyl sheets that can be used for the final print or prints, depending upon whether the poster is a simple banner, commercial sign or an art print. The final costs will depend on the size, printing surface material, and a number of prints in the run, with the final price per print pro-rated for large orders. The end result is a commercial-quality print with vibrant color and guaranteed not to run or smudge after output and drying.
