How does the system work?
All the poster submissions are reviewed then combined into a huge multipage PDF. This file is printed on a Xerox digital press on 20lb 100% recycled paper as a single ‘poster sort’. This poster sort is distributed on foot and applied to the 50 legal poster cylinders in the downtown core using a wheatpaste to ensure that it can be recycled.
How often do the posters get distributed?
We are distributing 3 poster sorts a week on varying days.
How many posters get distributed?
We distribute 15 posters per event in each poster sort.
Who is running this program?
