Before You Print

• ✓ Select the file for your desired poster size. There are 2 files to choose from – one is built at 36″ x 24″ (approx. 91.5 x 61 cm), the other at 24″ x 18″ (approx. 61cm x 45.7cm). Choose the specific file for the poster size you’d like. Confirm this sizing in your PDF viewer’s document properties before sending it anywhere to print.
• ✓ Print at Actual Size. Always choose “Actual Size” or “100%” in your print settings — never “Fit to Page” or “Shrink to Fit,” which will scale the poster down to whatever paper is loaded.
• ✓ Resolution. The file is set at a resolution that prints crisp at full size — posters are viewed from a few feet away, so no extra prep is needed here.
• ✓ Color mode. RGB works fine for most consumer print shops. If a shop specifically asks for a print-ready CMYK file, let them know and they can typically convert it on their end.

Step-by-Step

1. Download the PDF

   Click the download links and save the fingering chart PDFs to your device.

2. Confirm the page size

   Open the file for your desired poster size, and check its document properties — it should show either 36″ x 24″ (approx. 91.5cm x 61cm) or 24″ x 18″ (approx. 61cm x 45.7cm)

3. Choose where to print

   Take it to a local print shop, upload it to an online poster printing service, or tile-print it at home. This size isn’t a standard stock size outside the US and Canada, so ask for a custom-size print rather than a standard “poster” size.

4. Select “Actual Size” in print settings

   This is the step people miss most, anywhere in the world.

   Always choose “Actual Size” or “100%” — never “Fit to Page.”

5. Pick your paper

   Matte poster paper is the standard, affordable choice. Ask about semi-gloss or photo paper for a nicer finish if you want to spend a bit more.

6. Pick up or have it shipped

   In-store orders are usually ready same-day; online poster services typically ship within a few days, longer for international shipping.

Where to Print, by Region

Online poster printing services (such as Printful, Posterjack, or CanvasPop) and home-printer tiling work the same everywhere. For a local print shop, here are some well-known options by region:
