• Large format latex printing

  Large format latex printing

  Latex inks are pigmented, water-based inks using innovative aqueous-dispersed polymer Latex technology. Latex printing is used across a wide range of applications and materials such as soft signage, wallpapers, vehicle graphics, banners, and vinyl. With uses both indoor and outdoor, the ability to print on both coated and uncoated materials makes this method of printing extremely versatile. We can print up to 62" wide.

  • Indoor and outdoor promotions
  • Outdoor banner signage (for more permanent outdoor signage, an UV overlaminate should be applied)
  • Decorative wall, window, and floor graphics (floor graphics require the non-slip matte textured overlaminate)
  • Stickers (at this time, stickers are printed on gloss vinyl adhesive for indoor use. Water resistant, latex ink will not run. Stickers are run through an automatic cutter. Call us for details about sticker printing)

  At this time, we offer the following large format latex printing print media

  Latex print media size in square feet (sq ft)	Ultraflex 13 oz. outdoor banner flush cut with grommets (no hemming)	Overlaminate weather and UV protection for Ultraflex outdoor banner	Floor fabric adhesive with non-slip matte textured overlaminate applied (this is required for all WSU buildings and WSU sponsored events)	Matte vinyl adhesive	Gloss vinyl adhesive	Wall graphics polyester fabric adhesive
