We Use Genuine HP Brand Glossy Paper and UV resistant inks.
We could save money going with a cheaper alternatives, but we use genuine HP brand glossy paper and UV resistant inks for scientific posters. Images won't smear or fade.

Laminating
We do not offer lamination. Lamination not only increases the cost to our customers, but also adds undue glare. We offer a paper that is glossy, while not highly reflective. This allows a nice quality finish, yet high readability. If durability is your concern, all of our posters are printed with water-resistant inks that resist smearing when in contact with water. Because laminating can double the cost of your poster, it would be cheaper to order two glossy posters rather than a single laminated one!
Hanging Your Poster
All of our posters are printed on "flexible" media and are shipped rolled up in a sturdy mailing tube. Temporary posters can be hung using push pins, tape or velcro strips.
The SMUDGE TEST
Not all paper is the same. To prove this, we first sprayed a MAKESIGNS.COM glossy poster and the typical competitor's glossy poster paper with water. We then wiped our dry hand through the wet area of each poster. Our poster was not affected. The other poster was ruined as the ink turned into a slimy mess. You can see the results below.
MAKESIGNS.COM Microporous Glossy Poster Paper - has water resistance.
Typical resin coated glossy poster paper - turns into slime when it gets wet.
