"I want to get a full size framed board of my layout"!   We do not recommend this! Here is where our 50,000 sold hospital boards experience comes into play.....
    Before you get a final layout on a production sample you should have tried the following:


 1. Trial print the full size multi-page layout and write on it with full size dry erase markers.
 2. Trial print at least 2 times and make changes to your layout. Send us the changes and  we will make you a new print-out with your changes for free. We will continue to do this process until you feel you have a working lay out. 
 3. These full size printouts with subsequent changes are the best way to get a workable board that will do ITS job. You can either print out our multi-page PDF or we can send you a full size PDF to bring to Kinko's that can print for you one big page (get 5 made and really test them).   Some hospitals have used an LCD monitor and projected the image to a whiteboard.  They then spend hours testing the layout and asking us to make changes.  
 4. Once you have gone thru the above  "LAYOUT SHAKEDOWN" and have seen our framing etc, 99% of  hospitals just order the production run of boards rather than delay it by waiting weeks for a production sample that only has a value if you have the time to put it in a room and use it for a couple weeks.

      We are happy to make you the production sample, but  99% of our customers, use the FULL SIZE PRINTED layouts get our a more useable board in less time!

Please Call us to discuss if this is not answering your concerns fully
