And for your next poster project, consider some new as well as tried-and-trusted options for your print media.

For a classic poster with a gloss finish, LexJet 8 Mil Production Gloss Photo Paper is a favorite option for excellent color reproduction and pop, utilizing aqueous inks that get consistent results. It’s smudge and fingerprint-resistant and, at $0.32 per square foot, it’s a cost-effective option to pair with pressure-sensitive or low-heat thermal laminating films.

For large-scale production, consider LexJet Satin Poster Paper 200g, which is compatible with eco-solvent, latex and UV curable. You’ll get great reproduction results at a bottom-line price that you’ll love: $0.14 per square foot.

Looking to create a poster with pizzazz? Try LexJet FlexTek 170 for aqueous, or LexJet FlexTek SUV 200g for eco-solvent, latex or UV curable. You’ll get a slightly textile texture with more durability, making it a versatile option that also works for banners or even gallery wraps. That’s one product, three ways!

Speaking of versatility, you’ve also got options when it comes to finishing your poster. Check out this video to see how three cool poster jobs — hanging, mounted and in a window — were finished:

One Printed Poster, Three Creative Applications

To show how simply you can offer a variety of ways to display retail posters, we took one design and finished it three ways: a hanging poster, a mounted print and a face-mounted window graphic. Watch the video above to see we achieved three different looks, and check out the products we used:

Hanging Poster:

Aluminum “snap” poster displays feature a quick, snap-open design that allows for fast and easy poster changes. Combined with 8 Mil Production Satin Photo Paper, you get an economical, hanging system with a clean and elegant look.

Mounted Print:

LexJet Production Satin Photo Paper PSA is perfect for photo-realistic posters that can be mounted to any substrate, like poster board, PVC, foam boards or aluminum. With a one-step adhesive, it’s a simple solution for mounted prints.

Face-mounted Window Poster:

LexJet CrystalClear-X Removable Adhesive and 8 Mil Production Gloss Photo Paper are ideal for temporary window applications. The air flow release liner provides easy bubble-free installation and no-residue removal.
