Large Format Poster Printing:
A4 to 60x40"
Professional poster printing on 190gsm satin finish paper using Epson 1200dpi printers with fade-resistant UV-stable water-based inks. Standard ISO sizes A4 to A0 and imperial formats to 60x40". Satin finish eliminates the double-glare effect of glossy paper behind snap frame covers. Cut to precise frame dimensions for snap frames, pavement signs, and sign holders. Rolled and shipped in cardboard tubes. Free artwork file check before printing. 3 to 5 working day turnaround from artwork approval.
The paper choice matters as much as the print quality when producing posters for display hardware. Glossy photo paper behind the polycarbonate or acrylic cover of a snap frame produces a double-glare effect where both surfaces reflect ambient light simultaneously, making text difficult to read from any angle. Our 190gsm satin finish absorbs rather than reflects light, maintaining full colour depth while eliminating the surface glare that makes glossy posters unreadable in lit corridors and retail positions.
Our printing service is designed to work directly with our display hardware range. Posters are cut to the exact dimensions required for our poster snap frames, pavement signs, sign holders, and LED poster displays, including the correct bleed margin and safe zone for the frame profile overlap.
Anti-Glare
Why Choose Displaysense Poster Printing
190gsm Satin: The Correct Paper for Snap Frames
Standard glossy photo paper placed behind the cover of a snap frame creates a double-glare problem: the glossy paper surface reflects light upward into the cover material, which itself reflects light, producing a combined glare that makes text unreadable from many viewing angles. Our 190gsm satin paper has a semi-matt surface that absorbs ambient and directional light rather than reflecting it. Full colour depth is maintained while the glare is eliminated, keeping the poster readable from any angle under any lighting condition in corridors, retail floors, and office positions.
A4 to 60x40" on a Single Print Service
We stock paper rolls covering all standard ISO sizes from A4 (210x297mm) through A3, A2, A1, and A0 (841x1189mm), plus imperial formats commonly used in cinema lobbies and bus shelter advertising: 30x40" and 40x60". Whether you need A4 posters for desk sign holders, A1 for retail window snap frames, or oversized cinema-format prints for large pavement signs and freestanding displays, all sizes are available from the same print service with consistent paper and ink specification.
UV-Stable Fade-Resistant Inks for Window and Extended Display
Posters displayed in window positions or under prolonged artificial light exposure fade from UV radiation in the light source. Standard printing inks fade within weeks in a south-facing window position. We use UV-stable fade-resistant inks that maintain colour vibrancy for significantly longer than standard formulations, extending the practical life of posters displayed in window snap frames, LED lightboxes, and any position with sustained light exposure. This reduces the frequency of reprinting and maintains display quality between campaigns.
Cut to Exact Frame Dimensions with Safe Zone Guidance
Because we sell the frames, we know the precise cut dimensions required for every product in our range. Snap frames have a profile that overlaps the poster edge by 10mm on each side; a poster cut to the nominal frame size (A1, A2 etc.) without accounting for this overlap will have content lost under the profile. We cut posters to the correct print size for the specific frame format, and can advise on the 15mm safe zone that keeps all critical content and branding clear of the frame profile on all sides.
Tiered Bulk Pricing for Campaign and Retail Rollouts
Whether you need a single A4 poster for a reception sign holder or 100 A1 posters for a nationwide retail campaign, tiered pricing makes bulk printing cost-effective at every scale. Ordering multiple copies of the same design in the same print run reduces the per-unit cost significantly compared to individual orders. For retail chains with multiple sites, campaign rollouts with a standard poster at each location, or hospitality groups updating menus across multiple venues, a single consolidated bulk order covers all requirements from one submission.
Water-Based Eco Inks for Indoor Environments
We use water-based, solvent-free inks that are odourless and environmentally responsible. This is the correct ink specification for posters displayed in enclosed indoor environments including schools, hospitals, offices, and food service areas where solvent-based ink off-gassing would be a health or regulatory concern. The inks are fully cured before dispatch with no residual odour on delivery. The water-based formulation also means the inks are recyclable alongside the paper substrate in standard paper recycling.
Which Print Format Do You Need?
Standard ISO, Large Format or Cinema Size?
For snap frames and sign holders in standard commercial positions, ISO sizes from A4 to A0 cover all applications. For cinema, transport, and large-venue display in imperial formats, 30x40" and 40x60" prints suit standard industry formats. For LED lightbox displays, specify backlit film media rather than satin paper for full luminosity from the LED backlight. Contact us to confirm the correct print specification for any specific frame or display unit before ordering.
For Snap Frames and Sign Holders
Our snap frame range from A4 to A0 works directly with our poster printing service. Specify the snap frame size and we print to the correct dimensions including frame overlap allowance. For freestanding sign holders and pavement signs, the same satin 190gsm specification suits all standard display hardware positions.
For LED Lightboxes and Illuminated Displays
Standard satin paper is not suitable for LED poster displays. The LED backlight requires translucent backlit film media that transmits light through the print to produce the full luminous effect. Standard opaque satin paper blocks the backlight and produces a flat, dim appearance. Specify backlit film when ordering prints for any illuminated lightbox or LED display unit.
For Outdoor Display in Weatherproof Frames
The satin paper itself is not waterproof. For outdoor display, the poster is protected inside a weatherproof frame rather than being treated itself. Our lockable outdoor poster cases and pavement signs provide the weatherproofing; the satin paper print sits inside the sealed unit and remains protected from rain and moisture.
Print and Hardware Together:
The Displaysense Advantage
Because we supply both the print and the frames, we understand exactly how each needs to work with the other. Our posters are cut to the precise dimensions for our hardware rather than to nominal ISO sizes that may not account for frame profile overlap. Our 190gsm satin specification was chosen specifically to eliminate the glare problem that affects glossy paper behind snap frame covers. And our UV-stable inks maintain display quality for longer in the window and retail positions where our frames are most commonly installed.
