• A3 laser printer: plain paper, approx. 90 g/m²;

• Inkjet plotter: normal paper (approx. 140 g/m²), photo paper, glossy (approx. 170 g/m²).

All these media are pure white and, according to experience, are light-stable in a room for at least one year. Colored media cannot be used, because the ink of the printer is not opaque, so it mixes with the color of the media (unpredictable printing colors).

For standard posters, laminated or unlaminated, only special paper from 130 g/m² is recommended. Lighter paper tends to ripple at larger dark parts of the image. Photo paper produces very good print results for a higher price, but is unsuitable for lamination.

Other print media, such as clear or white foils can be produced, but are not in stock. They have to be ordered separately and should be purchased in larger quantities (min. 5 sheets DIN A0).

When printing a format larger than DIN A3, roll paper with a width of 91.44 cm (36 inches) and 61 cm (24 inches) is processed. As a result of this width and minus of the printed margin, posters can be printed up to 90 cm wide.
