Poster splicing instructions
You can get different types of posters by trying various ways of splicing them:
- Standard poster. Overlapped pages are glued together.
- Wall poster. Pages are glued to the wall.
- Tape poster. Pages are fixed by an adhesive tape.
Each poster page may have the following margin types:
- Trim margins. Marked by dashed line.
- Glue margins. Marked by solid line with hatch.
- Overlap margins. Marked by hatched image areas.
To get a ready-to-use poster, do the following:
