The attached file is designed to print out on conventional 8-1/2" x 11" paper on your computer printer. However, the margins are formatted so that when you take it to a copier and set the "enlarge" function to 155% and set the paper size to "ledger," you will get an 11" x 17" poster. (Please note that if your copier is one of the handful on the market that has an automatic image centering mechanism, this default needs to be disabled in order to print the poster properly).
Additional flyer, sticker and poster designs can be downloaded from the March 20th Anti-War Organizing Committee website.
