How to Print Poster Size | Tutorial for Teachers 

OMG Michelle, you just saved me from spending $40 at Staples!! I purchased ready to print anchor charts off of TPT for $20 and was trying to figure out how I was going to print them off poster size. Originally, I was going to trace them using my projector in my classroom, but I'm pressed for time! Now, I can just print and tape, yaayyy!! Please continue to make these tutorials, your amazing work is helping all of teachers stay afloat!!

You can also glue the taped pages to a cheap poster board from Dollar Tree or an office store to add durability, with or without lamination. Great video as usual, Michelle!

Exactly what I was looking for! Now I can save money, and make my own posters. Thank you!!! :)

What a helpful tutorial! This would even be fun for the students to learn how to do so they can create their own digital posters and print them for projects. Thanks for a great video! Have a wonderful weekend!

This video was extremely helpful! I have made my own poster size motivational Bitmoji posters but for some reason I never thought about applying that to my anchor charts! I'm moving back to the grade level that I love teaching next year and am getting things prepared for the move and THIS video has already been used to make 5 anchor charts! Thank you for supportive, useful, vlogs that a teacher can actually use!

Great video, if you can find super large laminating pouches or a roll of laminating pouch, you can always put a cloth on top of your plastic and use an iron to laminate, or you can also use clear sticky back plastic. Not the easiest task, but alternatives if you can't get it laminated at school. Thanks for all the great content Michelle, I love it

Former Copy shop worker at Staples here: We have large format laminators. I think Office Depot, Office Max, UPS, and FedEx Office (Kinkos) have them too.

Thank you so much for showing this. Now that I've watched your tutorial it all makes sense and seems so easy. I sit hear and think "hmmm why didn't I think of this myself"! Your ideas are awesome and I really appreciate the time you take to share them with us.

HI! Always here to support Pocketful of Primary every Friday!

Great explanation!!!

Thanks so much! Love this and slowly trying to go back and watch each of your past files over!!! The last three video's you made are outrageous! Love this stuff..

Thank you for such good step by steps. So easy to follow

Great video! I have also used clear contact paper if I don't have access to a laminator.

I am so grateful for this video. Thank you!

This video is suuuupeeeerrrrr helpful!!! I didn't know this trick. You make it so easy for me to learn these things. Thank you so much!!!

You’re a life saver!!!! Anchor charts, here I come!

Man, I'm not even a teacher but this hack would've saved me in college for all my freaking test prints of posters 🤣🤣 (I'm a graphic designer) oh well 🤣 at least I can use it now post-grad for personal projects and such 🥰

I’ve never used this feature. Thanks ❤

Thank you for this tutorial! This is a way easier method than a tutorial I watched by another creator. Fantastic!

You’re the best as usual!

Rubber cement is wonderful too! No wrinkling and it does allow you to kind of move things around.

Thank you! Your tutorials are so very helpful!

Another great video!! This is so cool! I think it’s so important for us teachers to know how to create these digital charts for reference. It will definitely come in handy for some teachers that have trouble drawing pictures. Doing it digitally will allow them to find the pictures they need to go with their chart. One question I had was about the paper cutter you were using. Did you attach the link below? It looks very handy.

Thank you for this video cause it helps me for my job

You just saved me $50 that I was so close to spending on posters I need tomorrow for school! Thank you, thank you! I am a big fan =)

Hey Michelle! I’m Jessica Collins ❤️❤️ I’m a 6th grade teacher 👩‍🏫 and these tips and tricks help me so much and they also allow me to to grow and expand my classroom. I have a passion for making my classroom looking colourful while the posters still being useful. These poster tips make me more excited and makes me grow my passion for making colourful posters for my classroom 💕💕 Thank You Girlfriend 😄😄 Makes me feel that my passion is recognised 😅

Great video. Thanks. Any free programs? Adobe light won’t allow me to print a. Poster and it’s $80. Seems a bit much considering I’m not using adobe to create the poster but only print it.

Thanks for the video! How do you print a file onto two A3 size papers to make a poster?

I love your tutorials! They are so easy to follow. Would you consider making another Google Sheets video where you teach how to protect cells? Also, any chance you would be willing to make a video series of graphic design tips? I love all of your series so much. Can I just say that I love your dad's RU-vid channel! His videos are so easy to follow and relaxing to watch! I can't wait to try some of his recipes! One more question. Do you know when your book will be available for pre-order? I CANNOT wait to read it! I have been teaching for 25 years and I have learned SO MUCH from you!

Wow! This was super helpful!

Such great information.... I have been doing this for years ❤️

You saved my bacon with this - thank you!

You can also print, laminate each page at home, cut, and then tape together on both sides 😊

Great video! It's a little bit of work, but worth it! Now I can make all kinds of custom posters. Love your paper cutter, I have the exact same one from SU!

Great video, Michelle! Thank you! ❤

Don’t forget removable tape to help get things lined up before actually applying the more “permanent” tape or glue. Removable tape is such a helpful hack. It’s like having an extra pair of hands! **Great video!**

What printer are you using? I am looking to buy a new printer. Thank you for this video! It was so helpful! This is going to save me a LOT of money and time because I hate making my own anchor charts and I don't want to fork out $20 plus dollars for just one poster. So when I say thank you I really mean it! 😂

Great video, Michelle!

great video

That is SO helpful! Thank you!!!

Hi! This is wonderful but I have a question. My poster is mostly black/dark colours and when I tape the sides, you could clearly see the tape (because it's glossy). What can you do about it?

Such an amazing and helpful video, thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and to Bridget… thankful for both of you! 😊❤️

You can laminate individually then tape. After you have cut them.

Thank you for this video!!

Thanks for this! By the way...where did you get that paper cutter?

Thank you for this! Just a heads up to everyone, there is currently an issue with the poster option on Macs - I went through several trouble shooting pages, but...well...there's a reason why I'm a music teacher and not in tech lol. It worked well on my work laptop (windows). To print on another computer/direct to printer you can "print to PDF" and it will save the tiled pages as a PDF on your computer. From there you can transfer/move the file as needed. :)

I normally print to A3 in pdf for posters but haven’t tried the poster size. I’ll have to give it a go.

Is there a way to save the poster pieces on a thumb drive and take it to a color printer. Does that make sense? I don’t have a color printer in my room so I need to take it to a color copier.

Great video. I have to ask this question and if you can direct me in the right direction, I woud greatly appreciate it. When I do this, my printer shows 4 pages, but then when it prints, it prints 16 pages. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you so much!!!!

Are you using Adobe? My poster button is greyed out. I've been reading that others are having the same problem.

Thank you for this!

Hi! What printer do you actually have?

Thank you.

Thank you

Thank you soooooo much

Another thing you can do if you don't have a large laminator available is use clear contact paper. It's a bit more difficult to get right, but it's doable.

How can i do this using an EPSON printer? Do I have to buy an app for my macbook air?

Great video I was wondering how do you find the designs for your assignments that you do? Just curious.

many thanks

Could you possibly run each individual piece of paper through your laminator and then tape it together afterwards?

Thank you!

In the Philippines, we call this tarp papel (tarpaulin paper)

This is such a helpful video but I don’t have access to the Pro version of adobe acrobat. I have the reader installed but when I print it always takes me to the system printing on Mac rather than adobe printing. So I don’t have the option for poster on Mac settings

Hello. The template I drew is bigger than A4 paper size, I need to print it on two A4 sheets. How can I save the file as PDF with margins?

What printer did you use? Do you recommend it? I’m in need of a new home printer so badly!!!

You are so cute and smart. Thank you!

Thanks for the info

That is awesome!!

Where do I get that print screen mine does not give any poster option

Can you do this on an android phone/tablet?

You rock!

Should I use 300 dpi? And is it hard to resize the original chart in google slides to something bigger?

My Mac won't let me print poster size. Do you know how to fix this please?

I got the anchor charts but they aren't in color. Did I get the wrong ones??

Now how can I make a file like the one poster with the 4 pages to put on my tpt store so that teachers just download the file and print?

Hello, I think you are a marvellous teacher. Thanks for sharing your tutorials. Why did you resign and leave the profession?? I know the U.S. is desperate for student teachers and qualified teachers.

What happens if you don’t have the “poster” option or it’s not letting you click on it? I’m experiencing both.

Im so confused on how to get my file onto adobe reader. I ho to the page and I do not know where to go. Lightroom? Photoshop? Where do I open it?

Can this be done on canva

i just saw that officedepot will print files designed in canva- but the website says it starts at 30 dollars us for a 24"x36"

Am I able to print mini sizes and have multiple mini sizes on a page to print out for student note books?

My printer does not give me option of poster. How do I fix that?

Can you do this out of adobe acrobat for mobile????

Women in STEEEEMMM I LOVE YALL

my printer option doesnt give me the option for poster! HELP!

I have a Brother printer but it's not showing me those options :(

Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to export the separate pages for your poster to a USB so that I can print elsewhere?

When I go to print the poster button is greyed out and I cant print it.

Just searched for this 48 hrs ago!

My pdf doesn't have the same settings.

Contact Paper too!

I don't see that option to print poster size. :(

Does anyone have any idea why "Poster" is not able to be clicked?

$35 poster or $2 WOW. Thank You

My go to ghetto lamimation will always be packing tape!!

Hmm. 2nd Grade? Really?? I couldn't tell. :0)

thank you
