Professional Research Poster Printing for UK Universities
Why 10,000+ Researchers Trust Us for Research Posters
Specialization
We exclusively focus on printing research posters for the scientific and medical community. Unlike general print shops, we understand the unique requirements of academic poster presentations: accurate colour reproduction for scientific data, proper handling of high-resolution microscopy images, and precise sizing for conference specifications. Our experienced team has printed research posters for major scientific conferences including the British Science Festival, Royal Society of Medicine events, European Respiratory Society, and hundreds of university research symposiums across the UK.
Quality Standards
Scientific poster presentations require precise colour reproduction for graphs, heatmaps, immunofluorescence images, and statistical visualizations. Our professional printers are calibrated weekly using industry colour standards to ensure consistent, accurate output. We use pigment-based inks (not dye-based) that provide accurate rendering for scientific data – critical for medical imaging, flow cytometry results, Western blots, and any research where colour conveys quantitative information. Standard high street printers lack this calibration, resulting in inaccurate data representation on printed posters.
Speed & Reliability
We understand research deadlines – experiments run late, revisions happen last-minute, and conferences don’t wait. Order by 2pm and we print same-day with dispatch within 24 hours. We’ve successfully delivered urgent poster presentations for researchers at major scientific conferences, emergency grant reviews, and sudden conference acceptances. Our turnaround has supported presenters at venues from the Royal Institution to international medical conferences. Choose next-day courier at checkout to receive your poster the following morning anywhere in the UK.
Academic Partnerships
Our clients include researchers from Imperial College London, UCL, Oxford, Cambridge, King’s College London, University of Edinburgh, and over 50 NHS trusts. We accept university purchase orders and provide VAT invoices for expense reimbursement. Every order includes a free sturdy cardboard tube. For frequent conference attendees, upgrade to our reusable plastic tube with shoulder strap (£15). Whether you’re printing a single poster for your PhD viva or coordinating multiple conference presentations for your research group, we provide the quality and service academic researchers need.
Built for Researchers
Same-Day Printing
Order before 2pm and we’ll print your poster the same day. Perfect for last-minute conference deadlines, urgent revisions after reviewer comments, and conference emergencies when experiments run late. Next-day delivery available across the UK.
Expert Quality Control
Every poster undergoes expert review before printing. We check image resolution, graph clarity, scientific colour accuracy, and data visualization quality. If we spot issues with your microscopy images, Western blots, or statistical figures, we contact you immediately before printing begins.
Conference-Ready Materials
Choose from paper posters (excellent for single conferences and maximum resolution) or fabric posters (fold into luggage for international travel, saving airline tube fees). All materials printed using calibrated professional equipment for accurate scientific colour reproduction. Free protective tube included with every order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Always check your specific conference presenter guidelines first. UK and European scientific conferences typically require A0 (841 × 1189 mm) landscape orientation. US medical and scientific conferences commonly specify 48 × 36 inches (122 × 91 cm). Major UK conferences including British Science Festival, Royal Society meetings, and most university research symposiums use A0 format. European medical conferences may request 100 × 70 cm. If your conference specifies a non-standard size, we can print to exact custom dimensions.
Choose paper (Standard or Premium Satin) if: presenting at a single UK conference, can transport poster tube easily via car/train, want absolute maximum resolution for detailed microscopy, or your institution’s reimbursement budget favours paper. Choose fabric if: flying to international conference (saves £50-100 airline tube fees), presenting at multiple conferences with same poster, lack space to transport poster tube, or want reusable poster for departmental displays. Fabric quality is excellent for most scientific applications with professional latex inks.
Set correct dimensions in PowerPoint or your design software BEFORE adding content (Design → Slide Size → Custom). Use high-resolution images: 300 DPI minimum at actual print size for photographs and microscopy images. Vector graphics (charts from Excel, diagrams from Illustrator) scale perfectly to any size. Export as PDF using ‘Best quality for printing’ or ‘Press Quality’ settings. Embed all fonts, especially scientific symbols, Greek letters, and specialized notation. For microscopy images, fluorescence, or medical imaging: save images from your analysis software at highest resolution before placing in poster.
We understand research deadlines are often tight. Same-day printing: Order by 2pm Monday-Friday and your poster prints same day, dispatching within 24 hours. Next-day delivery: Select next-day courier at checkout (order by 2pm for next morning delivery by 10:30am anywhere in UK). Emergency situations: If you have an urgent conference deadline, call us on 020 0234 5678. We can sometimes accommodate super-urgent orders depending on current workload. We’ve successfully delivered posters for researchers with conference presentations 24-48 hours away.
Yes, we offer bulk discounts for research groups, departments, or conference attendees ordering 5+ posters together. Common scenarios: Research group attending same conference, Department poster session or research day, Conference organizers coordinating presenter printing, Lab printing posters for multiple researchers. Benefits include reduced per-poster pricing, single delivery point or individual addressing, coordinated timing for conference deadlines, and single invoice for simplified reimbursement. Contact orders@academicposter.uk with number of posters needed, sizes and materials required, and delivery timeline for a custom quote.
Yes, with proper file preparation. Our quality control team specifically checks research posters for graph clarity (axis labels, data points, error bars visible), image resolution (especially critical for microscopy, Western blots, immunofluorescence), colour accuracy (important for heatmaps, flow cytometry, fluorescence imaging), and text readability. Our printers are calibrated weekly for accurate scientific colour reproduction. However, ensure your microscopy images are saved at high resolution (300 DPI minimum) directly from your analysis software – we cannot improve low-resolution source images.
Yes, we accept purchase orders from all UK universities, research institutes, and NHS trusts. We regularly work with researchers from Imperial College London, Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, King’s College London, University of Edinburgh, Manchester, and over 50 other institutions. Process: Place your order online as normal, select ‘Purchase Order’ at checkout, email your official PO to orders@academicposter.uk. We provide full VAT invoices for your finance department. Standard payment terms: 30 days from invoice date.
Yes, we regularly print research posters containing medical imaging for radiology conferences, clinical research presentations, and medical education. Ensure your DICOM images are exported at high resolution from your imaging workstation or PACS system. For greyscale medical images (X-rays, CT scans): ensure sufficient contrast and brightness before exporting. For colour-mapped images (functional MRI, PET scans): use standard scientific colour scales. Our calibrated printing ensures accurate grayscale rendering critical for diagnostic imaging displays. Note: All patient information must be anonymized before submission.
Yes, digital proofs are provided for all orders. Upload your file and complete your order, then you’ll receive an email with a digital proof (PDF) showing exactly how your poster will print. Review carefully: check all graphs, images, microscopy, text, and data visualization. Verify image quality looks acceptable at the scale shown. Ensure no critical content is cut off at edges. Approve the proof via email or upload a revised file if changes are needed. Production begins only after you approve. You can upload revised files at no extra cost before we start printing.
