Why Scientists Choose Us for Scientific Poster Printing
Scientific Specialization
We specialise in printing scientific posters for researchers across all scientific disciplines – from physics and chemistry to biology and environmental science. Unlike general print shops, we understand the specific requirements of scientific poster presentations: precise colour accuracy for spectroscopy data and chromatograms, high-resolution printing for microscopy images and molecular structures, clear reproduction of complex graphs and technical diagrams, and proper handling of scientific notation and chemical formulas. Our experienced team has printed posters for major scientific conferences including the British Science Festival, Royal Society of Chemistry meetings, Institute of Physics conferences, and hundreds of university research symposiums.
Technical Excellence
Scientific communications demand precision. Our professional printers are calibrated weekly to ensure accurate colour reproduction critical for experimental data visualization – whether you’re presenting spectroscopic measurements, gel electrophoresis results, chromatography outputs, or astronomical images. We use archival-quality pigment inks that won’t fade, maintaining the integrity of your scientific data over time. This calibration is essential for presenting accurate scientific information that colleagues can trust and reference.
Understanding Scientific Workflows
We understand the scientific research timeline – experiments don’t always finish on schedule, data analysis takes time, and conference deadlines are inflexible. Order by 2pm and your scientific poster prints same-day with dispatch within 24 hours. We’ve successfully delivered urgent posters for scientists presenting at major international conferences, last-minute symposiums, and emergency grant presentations. Our service has supported presenters at venues from the Royal Society to international science conferences across Europe and beyond.
Scientific Community Trust
Our clients include scientists and researchers from Imperial College London, Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, University of Edinburgh, and over 50 UK universities across all scientific disciplines. We work with physicists, chemists, biologists, environmental scientists, engineers, and interdisciplinary researchers. We accept university purchase orders and provide VAT invoices for grant-funded research expense reimbursement. Every order includes a free sturdy cardboard tube suitable for transporting delicate scientific poster presentations.
Built for Scientists
Same-Day Printing
Order before 2pm and we’ll print your poster the same day. Perfect for last-minute conference deadlines when experiments finish late, urgent abstract acceptances, and emergency presentation opportunities. Next-day delivery available across the UK for urgent scientific meetings.
Scientific Quality Control
Every poster undergoes expert review before printing. We specifically check: resolution of microscopy images and spectroscopy data, clarity of graphs and technical diagrams, accurate reproduction of molecular structures and chemical formulas, readability of scientific notation and equations. If we spot issues with your data visualization or image quality, we contact you immediately.
Conference-Ready Quality
Choose from paper posters (maximum resolution for detailed scientific imagery) or fabric posters (fold into luggage for international conferences). All materials printed using calibrated professional equipment ensuring accurate colour reproduction for experimental data, spectroscopy results, and scientific visualizations. Free protective tube included.

What Students Say
Frequently Asked Questions
An effective scientific poster should follow these principles: Clear visual hierarchy with large, readable title (72-96pt) and author information. Concise sections following scientific format (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion/Conclusions). Large, clear figures and graphs readable from 2 meters away with axis labels minimum 18pt. High-resolution images (300 DPI) for microscopy, spectroscopy, or experimental data. Minimal text – use bullet points and short sentences. Logical flow from top-left to bottom-right. Consistent colour scheme that’s colourblind-friendly. White space for visual clarity. Include QR code linking to your paper or supplementary data.
For optimal scientific poster printing: Microscopy images: Save at highest resolution from your imaging software (300 DPI minimum at print size). Graphs and charts: Use vector format (SVG, PDF, EPS) which scale perfectly. Export from Origin, GraphPad Prism, MATLAB, or Python plotting libraries as vector files. Spectroscopy data: Ensure sufficient resolution and clear axis labels. Export at 300+ DPI. Molecular structures: Use vector format from ChemDraw, ChemSketch, or PyMOL. Photographs and gel images: 300 DPI minimum. Save as TIFF or high-quality JPG before inserting into poster. General rule: If an image looks pixelated when zoomed to 100% on your screen, it will print pixelated.
Choose paper if: Presenting at single UK conference, Want maximum resolution for detailed microscopy or astronomical imagery, Can transport poster tube easily, Your poster contains very fine details or complex molecular structures. Choose fabric if: Flying to international conference (saves £50-100 airline fees), Presenting same research at multiple conferences, Limited space for poster tube transport, Want reusable poster for department displays. For most scientific applications, fabric quality is excellent with professional latex ink printing. Paper has slight resolution advantage for extremely detailed imaging.
Yes, provided your file is properly prepared. Chemical structures: Create in ChemDraw or similar vector-based software. Save as vector format (EPS, SVG) or high-resolution raster. Ensure bond lengths and angles are consistent. Mathematical equations: Use equation editors (LaTeX, MathType, Word Equation Editor) rather than inserting as images. Embed all mathematical fonts in your PDF. Greek letters and symbols: Ensure fonts are embedded when exporting to PDF. We check all files for font embedding issues before printing. If special characters appear as boxes or incorrect symbols in our pre-flight check, we’ll contact you before printing.
We provide digital proofs for all orders. After upload, you’ll receive email with PDF proof showing exactly how your poster will print. Review carefully: Check all graphs, figures, molecular structures, equations, and data visualization. Verify image quality and resolution appear acceptable. Ensure colour schemes look correct. Confirm no critical content is cut off at edges. Approve via email or upload revised file if needed. We also perform technical checks on our end for: Font embedding, Image resolution, Colour profiles, File corruption. If we identify technical issues that would affect print quality, we contact you before proceeding.
Always check your specific conference presenter guidelines. UK scientific conferences (British Science Festival, Royal Society meetings, Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Chemistry) typically require A0 (841 × 1189 mm) landscape. US scientific conferences (AAAS, APS, ACS meetings) commonly specify 48 × 36 inches (122 × 91 cm). European conferences may request 100 × 70 cm or A0. International interdisciplinary conferences vary widely – always verify requirements in your acceptance email or conference website before ordering.
Yes, our printers are calibrated weekly for accurate scientific colour reproduction. This is critical for: Fluorescence microscopy images with multiple channels, Heat maps and false-colour scientific data, Spectroscopy results, Chromatography outputs, Astronomical and satellite imagery. We use professional pigment inks that provide consistent, accurate colour rendering. However, ensure your source images use standard scientific colour scales and haven’t been over-compressed. For quantitative colour data, include colour scale bars with values on your poster.
Yes, we accept university purchase orders and provide full VAT invoices suitable for grant expense claims and university reimbursement. We work with researchers funded by UKRI, Wellcome Trust, Royal Society, Leverhulme Trust, and other major funding bodies. Process: Place order online, select ‘Purchase Order’ at checkout, email official PO to orders@academicposter.uk. We invoice your university finance department with 30-day payment terms. Many researchers expense poster printing as ‘conference costs’ or ‘dissemination activities’ under their grant budgets.
Yes, we understand scientific timelines don’t always align with conference deadlines. Same-day printing: Order by 2pm Monday-Friday and we print and dispatch same day. Next-day delivery: Select next-day courier at checkout for delivery by 10:30am following morning.
