What do we mean by "Linear Inch"?
We really mean, length ~ The SVC bases poster charges on the longest length of your poster that is beyond 42." The maximum dimension of one side we can print is 42." So, linear inch refers to the length we use to calculate the cost of your poster.
36" x 48" poster ~ Calculate 48 x $1.27 (matte paper) = $60.96
Why? The 36" side fits into the 42" paper width.
36" x 42" poster ~ Calculate 36 x $1.27 (matte paper) = $45.72
Why? The 42 " side fits into the 42" paper width.
