If there are more than 10 posters, please register at least 14 days in advance.

On average, it takes 1.5 hours to produce a DIN A0 poster from start to finish. This time may increase to 4 hours due to colour gradients, transparency effects and shading. This does not include time spent on final adjustments or, where necessary, resolving issues with the software used.

• A3 laser printer: plain paper, approx. 90 g/m²;
• Inkjet plotter: plain paper (approx. 140 g/m²), glossy photo paper (approx. 170 g/m²).

All these media are pure white and, based on experience, remain lightfast indoors for at least one year. Coloured media cannot be used because the printer’s ink is not opaque and therefore blends with the colour of the media (resulting in unpredictable print colours).

For standard posters, whether laminated or unlaminated, only special-purpose paper weighing 130 g/m² or more is recommended. Lighter paper tends to curl where there are large areas of dark colour. Although photo paper produces very good print results – albeit at a higher price – it is unsuitable for lamination.

Other printing media, such as clear or white film, can be processed but are not held in stock. They must be ordered separately and should be purchased in larger quantities (at least 5 A0 sheets).

For printing larger than DIN A3, roll paper with widths of 91.44 cm (36 inches) and 61 cm (24 inches) is used. Given these widths and allowing for the print margin, posters can be printed with a width of up to 90 cm.
