That's the technical specification of the printer. I think the more printing-savvy people are wondering things like: <ul><li>What file formats will the printing company accept?</li><li>Is there going to be a person manipulating what we provide for best quality/fit? </li><li>What are the margins, or can we print to the edges of the 13x19" page?</li><li>Is submitting the poster on a larger sized template with crop marks recommended? </li><li>Is there a color calibration specification available for the printer? </li><li>Are there any font licensing restrictions? (Printers often license font sets, and may refuse to print other fonts or substitute alternatives. Bitmapping text instead of embedding fonts may or may not be recommended or permitted.) </li></ul>More specific to this event: <ul><li>Are portrait or landscape layouts for posters recommended or required for this contest?</li><li>Are the posters going to be put into a frame which obscures the edges?</li> <li>If there is a problem with a submitted design, what kind of response/turnaround-time will be required to solve the issue and still have the poster ready for the summit? </li></ul> Personally, it's unclear if I will personally be producing a poster, as I'm told everyone should know what OLPC itself is. I was thinking of making a poster trying to describe the OLPC Association as compared to the Foundation, but don't know if that's really necessary. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 12:13 PM, Bruce Baikie <<a href="mailto:bruce@green-wifi.org">bruce@green-wifi.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Adam,<div class="im"> They will be printed with Claria® 6-color ink printer at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi and ink droplets as small as 1.5 picoliters </div> Bruce<div><div></div><div class="h5"> <blockquote type="cite"> On 10/6/2011 3:40 PM, Samuel Greenfeld wrote: <blockquote type="cite">It may also be a good idea if you can tell us a few details about how the posters are going to be printed.

I've spoken with 1 volunteer artist who is very concerned her artwork will be cut off around the edges, she writes: Official instructions didn't mention bleed, but to play safe I will add on a few mm around the edges and hope they cut back to the stated size. If the bleed was unnecessary, no matter. If they enlarge it and then cut to size (cutting off part of the design), I shall be pissed :-) I fear that's what they will do, though, since they are receiving contributions from people not familiar with making posters for print. <blockquote type="cite"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 2:20 PM, Sameer Verma <<a href="mailto:sverma@sfsu.edu" target="_blank">sverma@sfsu.edu</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div>On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 11:42 AM, Maryanne Ward <<a href="mailto:ward.maryanne@gmail.com" target="_blank">ward.maryanne@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > How about: > > "All artwork and lettering must be original.
