Poster Atelier

Editorial print studio

Compose posters with print-room precision.

Poster Atelier unifies layout grids, ink profiles, and production dashboards so editorial teams ship exhibition-ready work without leaving the atelier.

Production rhythm

From sketch to stack in one editorial flow.

Independent presses and museum studios use Poster Atelier to align art directors, prepress, and print partners on a single proof timeline — no scattered PDFs, no last-minute crop surprises.

Built by editors who still smell the ink.

Poster Atelier started in a shared print loft — art directors, prepress engineers, and type obsessives who wanted software that respects the poster as an object, not a screen mockup.

    Co-founder & editor-in-chief

    Former museum print curator. Obsessed with registration marks and justified type.

  • Jonah Park

    Head of prepress

    Built color pipelines for three indie presses before starting Poster Atelier.
