Unlike some of our competitors, our prices are shown as seen - VAT is included and there are no hidden extras. A free cardboard poster tube is included with each order so you can keep your work safe.

We have 5 different paper options for academic posters, each suitable for a wide range of uses.

Standard Satin

Our Standard Satin paper is a 170gsm thick paper with a satin semi-gloss finish. Satin papers have a slight sheen, which produces a vibrant, semi-gloss finish and is best used for prints with lots of photographs or graphics that you really want to stand out.

This paper is very popular for student poster and presentation printing, as well as for personal use for low-cost photographic prints or in retail as point-of-sale posters.

Standard Matte

The Standard Matte paper is also 170gsm thick and has a matte finish with no sheen. This will produce better results in well lit areas, and is also great for framing behind glass, as it won’t reflect lighting.

We also recommend this paper for student poster and presentation printing. It’s also good for illustrations and is suitable to be written on. 

Premium Satin

At 270gsm thick, Premium Satin is our highest quality paper. It has a professional semi-gloss finish, great for producing vibrant colours and high resolution photographic prints.

We recommend this for photographic printing, gallery quality prints or even high end academic presentation posters.

Premium Matte

Our Premium Matte paper is also 270gsm thick with an unreflective matte finish. Like the Standard Matte, this is perfect for use in framed prints and well lit areas, such as meeting rooms or galleries. 

We recommend this paper for graphic art portfolios and illustration prints, as well as for highest quality matte photographs requiring a premium look and feel. It can also be used as a durable solution for presentation and academic purposes.

Plain Paper

At 90gsm, Plain Paper is our lightest weight, similar to regular cartridge paper you may have at work or at home.

Due to it's light weight, we don't recommend this for high ink coverage images or photographic prints, but it's perfect for architectural plan prints or low-cost, budget posters.

All of our academic Posters are printed on our Epson SureColour printers, using only genuine Epson inks for the highest print quality. These printers are all equipped with 10-colour inks and have a built in colour spectrometer for a wide colour gamut and accuracy.
