How long does it take for printing to be completed?

We have an express and standard turnaround for printing.

Express 24-48 hours: A3 size or under. No more than 5000 copies.
Standard 3-5 working days: This is the turn-around for all printing.
Orders with special inks, overprints, laminating, celloglazing, folding, scoring, perforating etc may increase turnaround time.

The turn-around time begins once your artwork is checked by Sydney Posters and is deemed to be print ready.

Should my file be RGB or CMYK?

Please download our file specification sheet. This includes all the requirements for a print-ready file along with size and bleed information etc.

RGB colour spaces are only used for artwork that is to be used on a screen, for example, web graphics or television.

All files requiring printing need to be setup as CMYK, however, if you are printing in one or two colours only, please setup your artwork to print in one or two Pantone®/spot colours.
