Posters are definitely beaucoup bucks to print.  I have yet to find a
cheap way to print them and standard "movie-size" posters are 24x36
Inch.

(Forgive me to those of you, for my being metric-challenged.)

My alternative was to use 11x17 inch prints.  Not as awesome, for sure,
but definitely economical by comparison.  Overnightprints.com, for
example, will do 50 for about $91.  And cheaper with a higher print
order.  And if you use them regularly, you'll quickly move into VIP
pricing which can be up to 50% even more savings on printing.

We could have multiple images printed up (say 5?) and plaster them all
over the booth (and venue) and not even worry about getting them back
(because in all likelyhood any paper-based printing will get mangled
quickly.)
