It may seem totally irrelevant to most, but Comic Sans MS was a staple in the 90's. The type face was used to mimic the text used in comic books, and it has eventually become something of a joke. In 1990, a married couple decided to start a campaign to ban Comic Sans. They were not alone in their dislike for the font and quickly gained a following.

The maker of the typeface is a man named Vincent Connare. While working for Microsoft he designed the font and it took off. The relevance of this ban of Comic Sans to a print shop is in all the printing we have done with that type setting. Clients mix a high class design with Comic Sans typeface which spoils the look of the work all together. There are a plethora of fonts to choose from, but none have been as heavil discussed as Comic Sans. There is never a reason to talk about something unless it is important, and Americans have strong feelings about their font.

All in all The Printing Factory has no reservations. Everything that we print is without biased. A print design is personal, but no offense comic sans isn't popular.

Posters and Signs are probably the most basic way to promote your business or event. Posters and signs can be used when you need to display your product or event to the public and there is a large selection of posters of standard sizes and colors. What should you choose?

First of all, remember that people will look at the poster from a fair distance, probably while walking down the street or riding a bus or a cab. So remember that if you can’t understand the content of your poster from 20 feet, your audience will not be able to do so as well.

You shouldn’t cramp each and every piece of information in the poster either. Posters should catch the attention of the viewer with lively colors, a catchy slogan and preferably a call to action.

At the Poster Printers, you will find high quality & large format posters, that are available on 100lb text, 8pt card stock and 12pt card stock. What does it mean?

100lb text are perfect for giveaways, window placements or for posting on construction sites. These can be folded, rolled or shipped flat.

8pt and 12pt card are ideal for heavy duty outdoor advertising, such as posting on lamp posts or political advertising. Order as low as 100 copies and still pay much less than digital poster printing.

Whether it’s advertising, sales or promotions you are looking to print, or even your favorite photo on a canvas for a true artist reproduction of your family member, the Poster Printers are here to answer all your printing needs.
