Satin vs Glossy — Choosing the Right Finish
Both finishes share the same 235 gsm resin coated paper base at 9.0 mil thickness. The difference is surface texture and light behavior:
- Satin (S0220) — a smooth, low-glare surface that controls reflections without sacrificing color depth or density. The most versatile finish for environments where ambient lighting varies — retail displays, trade shows, galleries, and indoor signage where viewers are close to the print. Skin tones and gradients render naturally without the mirror-like sheen of a high-gloss surface. Available in 36 in, 42 in, 54 in, and 60 in widths.
- Glossy (S0110) — a high-sheen surface that maximizes color saturation and contrast. Best for photo enlargements, backlit display applications, vibrant product photography output, and any job where punchy color impact is the priority. Cold and hot laminatable for framing, mounting, and surface protection. Available in 36 in, 42 in, 54 in, and 60 in widths.
Size Guide — Choosing the Right Width
| 36 in x 100 ft | Standard output for 36 in and 44 in printers — posters, photo enlargements, POP displays |
| 42 in x 100 ft | Production width for 42 in and 44 in printers — maximizes substrate use on standard wide format jobs |
| 54 in x 100 ft | Mid-production width for 54 in and 60 in printers — trade show graphics, large retail displays |
| 60 in x 100 ft | Full-width production for 60 in and 64 in printers — maximizes roll use on large-format output |
Order the width that matches or is closest to your printer’s maximum roll width. Using a roll wider than your print head wastes substrate on each side. All rolls are 100 ft long on a 3 in core.
