Customer Comments:
"I just wanted to say that we love the new Poster Maker that
we just bought from you. It was easy to use and the posters turned
out spectacular!!!
It was so nice to have the posters as part of our grand opening.
We made huge posters of two new checks that we donated to two non-profit
agencies here in town."

__________________________________
PowerPoint Presentations:
Advantages:
- Flexible.
- Easy to modify.
- Slides can't get lost.
- Can be used in a large auditorium.
- Can present complex computer graphics and animation.
Disadvantages:
- PowerPoint presentations can encounter technical difficulties.
When that happens you are stuck.
- Difficulties in finding the right visuals can be encountered,
if the presentation goes in an unplanned direction.
- Requires electricity.
- Requires a projector.
- Requires a darkened room.
- Only one visual at a time can be shown.
- Can present complex computer graphics and animation. As a result
we can become focused on the technology used to make the presentation,
instead of the point of the presentation. The best presentations
use simple graphics that highlight, and focus attention on the
key points of the presentation, not on the method of presentation.

Poster Printers:
Advantages:
- The presentation order can be changed should it go in an unplanned
direction.
- Easy to modify.
- Following a presentation the visuals can be posted on walls
or bulletin boards to serve as an ongoing reminder of what was
discussed.
- Flexible - for example, visuals can be marked up during the
presentation in response to questions.
- No power is required. A projector is not required. The material
can be presented essentially anywhere, under any conditions.
- Multiple visuals can be shown at once (by sticking charts or
other visuals on the walls, for example).
- Presented in a lighted room in which you can see how your audience
is responding, and in which the audience can easily take notes.
This also helps stimulate a give and take interaction between
the presenter and the audience.
- Results in a presentation solely focused on the message, not
on the method of presentation.
- A PosterPrinter has additional uses such as for creating motivational
posters, safety posters, meeting banners, signs and more. It's
more than just a presentation tool. It's a powerful business tool!
Disadvantages:
- Not suitable for huge auditoriums.
- Can not present video or animation

Which presentation method is best, depends on your situation. When
you need to make presentations in unknow situations, when there
is no power, or when you need flexibility choose the poster printer.
