Printing Information
Our Habits of Mind Posters are designed to print beautifully at two sizes to meet your classroom needs.
8.5” x 11” Posters
These files are formatted for standard letter-size paper and can be printed on any home or school printer. For best results, use high-quality color settings and a heavier paper weight (such as cardstock) to enhance durability and color vibrancy.
12” x 18” Posters
These larger posters are ideal for classroom displays or common areas. They’re ready for professional printing on 12” x 18” paper, which most print shops can easily accommodate. We recommend printing on matte or semi-gloss cardstock for best results and to reduce glare when displayed under classroom lighting.
Printing Tips
-
Always choose “Actual Size” or “100%” in your print settings to preserve true dimensions.
-
If your printer requires borders, select “Fit to Page” to ensure the full poster image is printed.
-
You may laminate or mount the posters for long-term use.
