Digital printing has no plates and no setup, which changes the economics completely compared to traditional printing. A single poster costs a sensible amount rather than carrying the cost of a whole print run, and a hundred posters cost proportionally less per piece.
That means there is no reason to order fifty when you need three, and no reason to compromise on size to fit a standard format. Part of the iCandy Grafix digital printing service.
The standard indoor stock. Sharp, colour-rich, affordable. Right for most event and promotional work.
No glare under gallery lighting, retail spotlights or office downlights. Choose this whenever the poster sits under directional light, which is more situations than people assume.
Deeper blacks and better tonal range. For photographic work where image quality is the point.
Damp environments, gyms, covered outdoor areas, anywhere paper would soften or wrinkle. Considerably tougher than paper and it will not tear.
Peel and stick directly to a wall or panel, no frame needed.
Bonded to foam board, PVC or ACM for a rigid finish that stands on an easel or hangs without a frame.
Event and concert posters. Real estate open house boards. Restaurant promotions and seasonal menus. School, college and university announcements. Trade show product boards. Church and community event notices. Retail sale signage produced in bulk for multiple store locations. Gym class timetables. Medical practice information posters.
Standard formats are 18×24, 24×36 and 27×40 inches. Custom sizes up to 10 feet wide.
If you are filling an existing frame, measure the visible opening rather than the outside of the frame. Frames overlap the poster by anywhere from a quarter inch to over an inch per side, and this catches people out constantly. Measure the opening, then add a small allowance so the poster sits behind the lip rather than ending exactly at it.
Worth adding on anything handled repeatedly, mounted at eye level in a busy corridor, or exposed to moisture.
Gloss laminate adds saturation and depth. Matte kills glare without dulling the image much. Both add years to the life of a poster and both make it wipeable, which matters in schools, gyms and clinics where posters get touched constantly.
Paper does not survive outdoors, even laminated. It absorbs humidity, warps in the frame and softens at the edges within days.
For genuinely outdoor use, either a synthetic tear-proof stock with UV lamination in a covered position, or step up to a vinyl banner or a rigid printed panel. We will say so rather than sell you a laminated paper poster for a fence, because it will look poor within a fortnight and that reflects on us.
A single 24×36 poster typically costs $25 to $60 depending on stock and lamination, with per-unit pricing falling sharply on runs of ten or more. iCandy Grafix charges no setup fee, because digital printing requires no plates.
Paper posters do not survive outdoors even when laminated, since they absorb humidity and warp. For covered outdoor positions, a synthetic tear-proof stock with UV lamination works. For fully exposed outdoor use, iCandy Grafix recommends a vinyl banner or a rigid printed panel instead.
Yes. iCandy Grafix prints single posters with no minimum order and no setup charge, since digital printing needs no plates. Turnaround for a single poster is usually 2 to 3 business days.
Measure the visible opening of the frame rather than its outside dimension, since the frame lip overlaps the poster by a quarter inch to over an inch per side. Then add a small allowance so the poster sits behind the lip rather than ending exactly at its edge.
Laminate anything handled repeatedly, hung at eye level in a busy corridor, or exposed to moisture. Gloss laminate adds saturation, matte reduces glare, and both make the poster wipeable and add years to its life. For a poster hanging in a quiet office, it is not necessary.
