Colour evokes emotional and psychological responses in those that experience them. It also has cultural and religious significances that can vary through time.

Are you taking a copy of a poster you have printed to be copied? If so, is your printer up to standard? The copies you order from photocopying services will only be as good as the original they are working from. If you are unsure, can you send a digital copy to the printers?
