Description
This water-resistant poster paper has its opacity reinforced with a blue back 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 and is suitable for soaking as part of the bill posting
process. Tested with authorities for compatibility with the various adhesives, application practices
and Northern European weathering, meet the requirements of billboard advertising and standard
specifiers such as Viacom for most outdoor campaigns.
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.
