Media

Typically, a printer will face a vast diversity in the nature of jobs. This stretches from the variety of substrates, complications of sizes, mix of sizes all exacerbated by the end use and nature of the location. Not forgetting the increasing request for sustainable or eco print options. No wonder then that the deliberation over the right media can be an involved process. Particularly when faced with vinyls, matte, satin and gloss papers, foamex boards, foam board and card. Or diving into fluted eco-friendly board for displays and packaging. Maybe looking at window films, banner and roll-up choices, to anti-slip floor graphics or vinyls for decal production.

Then for some situations, it calls for determining the best adhesive approach and whether self-adhesive is more appropriate than specialist application by an expert. In fact, when thinking about it maybe the term ‘large-format’ should not just be about the size, but also about the intricacies of the media out there!
