Product Description for Silk Posters | Smooth Low-Sheen Printing

Silk Posters use silk-coated poster paper with a smooth restrained sheen. The finish changes how colour, photography and text are perceived, allowing the poster to be matched to its display environment rather than treating every campaign as the same paper product.

The available poster sizes and paper weights vary by material. Use high-contrast artwork and scale typography for the actual viewing distance. For fluorescent Day Glo stock, remember that the substrate colour becomes a strong visual part of the design; for coated stock, reflections from lighting can affect readability.

Standard poster papers are intended for suitable indoor or protected display unless the specific material is described as weatherproof. For prolonged rain or wet environments, specify a waterproof poster or rigid outdoor sign product instead.

Supply print-ready artwork as a high-resolution PDF at 300dpi in CMYK (FOGRA39 where a profile is required). Embed all fonts or convert text to outlines/curves. Add 3mm bleed on every trimmed edge and extend backgrounds and images fully into the bleed. Keep important text, logos, QR codes and other critical content at least 3mm inside the finished trim. Crop marks are not required when the PDF is supplied at the correct trim size with bleed.
