Looking For Poster Material Recommendation

[No Lemon]

I'm looking to make some wall posters and need to know what material I should use. I have a Roland VP540 Eco sol printer. Thanks for any advise or suggestions.

Sihl 3686 is a good material for Matte Posters, you could run heavy bond material as well.

Can anyone advise what finishes are for what? Satin, Semi gloss, Matt, Gloss?

It is usually customer preference, you will get a nicer looking image on Gloss but when light hits it in certain areas it can make it so you cannot read the advertisement. Satin is a good material to use as your general paper since it isn't too dull and it isn't too glossy.

Sihl 3686 is also our poster paper of choice.

We use HP Premium Poster Paper. I like the flat finish. I feel like it gives us a better print than gloss does. And before we got rid of our L25500 it was the only paper we could find that would run well through it, the 360 and our UV printer. We get it from Grimco but I believe Lexjet sells it as well.
