Uncoated Finish

Uncoated finish does exactly what it says on the tin.  We print onto the uncoated paper stock and then do nothing else to it.

However, the basic uncoated paper that we use can be matt, silk or gloss and so the type of base paper you select will affect the way you print comes out.  Matt uncoated gives a flat matt finish. Silk uncoated gives a smoother feel and a slight sheen to the print.  Gloss uncoated gives a more shiny base layer which is good for photos, but bad to write on with a ballpoint pen.

matt lamination

Matt Lamination

Matt lamination gives an elegant effect that offers great quality for products where image and first impressions mean everything, which is why it is a common choice for many.

Unlike gloss lamination, matt lamination can provide a softer look, as it can produce lower contrast on darker colours. Whilst forming a protective coating over the print, it does not provide the same level of protection as gloss lamination and can be prone to scratching.

Gloss Lamination

With gloss lamination the shine finish gives the artwork a much more striking look, the light reflects off the laminate, and gives colours, in particularly blacks, a richer depth.  Gloss lamination is more high profile, it adds a high gloss sheen often used on brochure covers, menus, magazine covers or presentation folders offering a high impact option.

Gloss lamination is also a durable choice as it repels dirt, scratches and fingerprints with ease. If the laminate does come in contact with dirt, it is easily wiped clean due to its glossy texture.

encapsulation

Encapsulation

Encapsulating your digitally printed product gives you a robust wipe clean matt or gloss finish to both sides of your print. 

It differs from laminating in that the plastic film extends 2-3mm past the edge of the print – making a waterproof seal with the second side. Hence the print is sealed all the way around in a plastic coating.

The plastic film we use is 75micron thickness (on each side) and so encapsulation adds more stiffness to your finished product than lamination.

foamex mounted prints

Foamex Mounted Prints

Foamex is a superior quality, extremely versatile PVC foam sheet that is fabrication friendly.  It is easy to bend, cut, drill and glue and you can mount your print on it.

Foamex is mainly used to make signage, banners and exhibition display panels, but you can even have your photos printed on it and display them in your home.   Once your print is mounted onto foamex, you can achieve high quality, visually pleasing signage and display products which look  expensive.

Add the finishing touch

    • Matt or gloss lamination gives a wipe clean finish to your poster 
    • Encapsulation gives a fully sealed 150micron plastic coating on the front and back of your poster
    • Mounting your poster onto foamex (5mm thick) enhances the presentation of your image and allows additional durability for mounting on walls or suspending from ceilings

Then just upload your image file (don’t forget the bleed) as a .pdf, .ai, .jpeg or .tiff and you’re done!
