Outdoor Blue Back Poster Paper 8
Description
This matt white water-resistant poster paper is inherently opaque but has a blue back to reinforce
the highest possible opacity to meet the requirements of billboard poster applications as is the case
with traditional screen print papers for this application. It is suitable for a wide range of indoor
graphic applications too, but is primarily designed for outdoor use without lamination. Wet strength
is suitable for soaking as part of the bill posting process. High ink capacity allows bright prints with
excellent colour density and gamut. Tested and approved by the Swiss billboard association APG and
other authorities. Compatible with commonly used adhesives, application practices and Northern
European weathering to meet the needs of billboard advertising specifiers such as Viacom.
Applications
Excellent for all single or multi panelled billboard applications: Bus shelters, subway
advertisements, sporting event signage and promotions, outdoor festival signs and displays, outdoor
markets, construction signs, indoor presentation applications. Also excellent as a low cost backlit
display for such applications as bus shelter advertising.

the design approximately 98% to compensate for possible expansion.
