Educators today are creating posters for all kinds of reasons — classroom teaching tools, school hallway displays, or advertisements for their new makerspaces and labs.
Large format printers, which can often already be found in makerspaces or CTE classrooms, can print on a variety of different films, papers, and substrates, opening up a world of opportunities for creating visually stunning posters.
