I need to do a bunch of large prints (11x17 on up to 16x24) which will be used as posters. The customer specifically doesn't want a hard backing (the prints have to be bendable), but they need to be studier than a standard print (they will be taken from location to location and need to last for a couple of years).
Any recommendations on places to print sturdy yet flexible posters?
I actually run a print shop as my 9-5 and have a couple things that would work for you. I have a really nice 300g satin photo paper that has a really nice, heavy feel but also rolls well. You could also use a high-end vinyl that rolls extremely well and will last nearly forever with UV ink. If you're interested shoot me a pm with a price range you're looking for and I'll see if I can help you out.
Vinyl sounds interesting. Is it something an Epson 3800 can print on?
I have no idea on the price range yet, I suspect the customer will pay me just about whatever I ask (within reason). So my first task is just to find out what's available and present the options to them.
I can print up to 54in wide on a number of media's poster paper mat or gloss, vinyl,banner pvc, etc, all on outdoor solvent ink please contact me for more details price £20 per sq metre + postage based in U.K.
