Premium A3 Poster Printing (12 × 18 Inches)

A3 poster printing produces wall-ready prints at 11.7×16.5 inches (297×420 mm), commonly called 12×18 inches in India. PrintPosters prints A3 posters on 220 GSM premium art paper with high-resolution archival pigment at our in-house manufacturing facility in India.

An A3 poster measures 297 × 420 mm, which equals 11.7 × 16.5 inches. In India this is often referred to as a 12×18 inch poster. It is twice the area of A4 and half the area of A2.

Yes. A3 (297×420 mm) is approximately 11.7×16.5 inches, which retailers and frame shops commonly round to 12×18 inches. PrintPosters accepts A3 orders on the product page with live pricing from ₹35.

A3 is 11.7×16.5 inches — slightly smaller than a literal 12×18 inch custom size. For most framing purposes in India, A3 and 12×18 are treated as the same popular poster size.

A3 balances affordability, visibility, and easy framing. It is large enough for wall impact in bedrooms, offices, and cafés, yet compact enough to ship safely in a tube and fit standard A3 frames sold nationwide.

PrintPosters prints A3 posters on premium imported 220 GSM art paper — thicker and stiffer than typical 150 GSM copier stock used by local shops. Gloss, matte, and satin finishes are available on the order form.

Choose gloss for photography, movie posters, and promotions where vivid colour pop matters. Choose matte for artwork, text-heavy designs, and framed gallery walls where reflections must be avoided. Satin offers a premium middle ground.

For sharp A3 printing at 300 DPI, use 3508×4961 pixels (portrait) or 4961×3508 pixels (landscape). Minimum acceptable is ~1500 px on the long edge; 2500+ px is good; 3500+ px is excellent. Our upload tool checks quality automatically.

We recommend at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge as an absolute minimum. For crisp detail at arm's length, aim for 2500+ pixels. For gallery-quality output, target 3508×4961 pixels (300 DPI at A3 size).

Yes, if your artwork includes 3 mm bleed on all sides and important content stays inside a 5 mm safe margin. Upload a PDF with bleed for best results. Our trim is precise to A3 dimensions.

Bleed is an extra 3 mm of artwork beyond the trim edge on each side so backgrounds print edge-to-edge without white borders. Keep logos and text at least 5 mm inside the trim line (safe area).

Yes. In Canva, set custom dimensions to 297×420 mm (or A3), enable bleed, and export at 300 DPI as PDF or PNG. Download to your device — do not screenshot — then upload on PrintPosters.in.

Export your Photoshop artwork as print-ready PDF (preferred) or high-resolution PNG/JPG at 300 DPI. Set document size to 297×420 mm with 3 mm bleed if the background extends to the edge.

Yes. PDF with embedded fonts is the best format for text-heavy A3 posters. Ensure the artboard is A3 (297×420 mm) at 300 DPI with bleed if needed.

Yes. Upload high-resolution PNG or JPG files. PNG preserves transparency edges; JPG works well for photographs. Avoid heavily compressed social-media exports — use original camera or design exports.

Export Illustrator artwork as PDF with embedded fonts and 3 mm bleed, or as 300 DPI PNG. Direct .ai upload is not required — PDF is preferred for production.

Yes. Upload high-resolution anime artwork for A3 prints on gloss or matte paper. Ensure you have rights to reproduce the artwork — we print customer-supplied files only.

Both are accepted. CMYK exports print most predictably for brand colours. RGB uploads are colour-managed through our ICC calibration workflow. Avoid oversaturated neon RGB values that may shift in print.

Some shift is normal between screen (RGB) and print (pigment on paper). Our ICC calibration minimizes surprises. Matte paper appears slightly softer than gloss; satin balances both. Order a single copy to approve before bulk runs.

Yes. Our AI resolution checker analyses uploaded files and flags images too soft for crisp A3 output. If quality is unsuitable, our team may contact you before printing.
