If you are creating a poster for a scientific conference and you know
LaTeX or another TeX derivative, you can make a poster with it. I've
used LaTeX packages sciposter and a0poster in the past. Here's the top
of a latex file I have using sciposter:

\special{ps:gsave

\definecolor{TextCol}{rgb}{0,0,0}
\definecolor{SectionCol}{rgb}{0,0,0}
\renewcommand{\columnseprule}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\sectionsize}{\Large}
\renewcommand{\subsectionsize}{\large}
\title{\textcolor{white}{Very, very interesting stuff}}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{multicols}{5}
%%% the poster text, etc.
text text text
%%% this won't work without some \end{X} statements.
I also have a paper96x48.cfg file in the same directory.
:> more paper96x48.cfg
% file papercustom.cfg, M.H.F. Wilkinson

\renewcommand{\papertype}{custom}
\renewcommand{\fontpointsize}{36pt}
\setlength{\paperwidth}{121cm}
\setlength{\paperheight}{243cm}
\renewcommand{\setpspagesize}{
\ifthenelse{\equal{\orientation}{portrait}}{
\special{papersize=121cm,243m}
}{\special{papersize=243cm,121cm}
}
}
I've also used the poster package in Debian to take the full poster and
spit it out as a bunch of 9.5x11 sheets of paper for printing and then
taping together. It has worked in a pinch for me, but it is a little
disappointing to work hard to make a nice looking poster and then it
looks pretty terrible taped up.
Good luck and enjoy. I have always enjoyed making posters.

Maybe a little overdo for just one poster, but it's probably one of the best options when the thing needs to be printed, very reliable in that matter. Good luck!

Actually, I recently used the tikzposter LaTeX package: https://usermanual.wiki/Document/tikzpostermanual.44268497/html https://roboticsconference.org/information/sample-poster2.pdf However I am not sure it is still maintained. I can print it out in several papers and attach them together later. If transportation of A0 poster is an issue, an alternative is to print a foldable fabric poster [1] The classical tube remains a good option.

Hi, I would use 'inkscape'. It is very capable for vector graphics. Sadly it does not support automatic slicing of a large image into multiple small images, but that can be achieved manually with a small effort as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC-i9qxDGfo
