Which format is right one for the poster printer?

The standard format for the poster printer is A0 (841 mm x 1189 mm). However, the printer cannot print rimless! This means that although the document is in A0, it won´t be printed on the whole paper area. Hence, it is always useful to print documents with the option “In Seite einpassen” (“Fit in page”) (see depiction). If you want to print a poster that includes a lot of white areas, it is recommendable to adjust in the printing dialogue that a margin line or that crop marks should be printed (e.g. extended options in the printing dialogue of Adobe Acrobat). This will facilitate the cutting of the posters, which you can also do in the LRC.
