Application Ideas and Procedures

Xerox Wide Format Supplies Applications Guide

Version 2.0; April 2005

1. Poster/Single Panel Print

1.1 Application Definition

Posters are used to display information in the form of text and/or graphics (vector or photographic) to small

audiences. Typically medium sized (approx. 24" wide x 36" tall) and generally intended to be viewed up close or

from a short distance. A complete design that is contained within one print is considered a poster, or a “single panel,”

regardless of whether multiple copies are involved.

Unlaminated posters are images printed on the base material of choice only, such as paper or film, without

being “finished” with an overlaminate. These posters are not protected from moisture or abrasion damage, and are

generally used as indoor signage only for one-time or short-term use.

Laminated posters have a protective layer on the front and/or back of the print to be protected from minor

abrasion damage, moisture, and handling. Laminates can either be thermal (hot), or pressure sensitive (cold/heat

assist). These products increase print rigidity, may increase image longevity, and are recommended for long-term

indoor, as well as short-term exterior applications. Once a poster is laminated it can be installed with tape, Velcro

pins, tacks, or grommets. It can also be mounted to a substrate or put into a frame or fixture.

1.2 Suggested Application Ideas

Posters, client presentations, point-of-sale graphics, exhibition graphics, museum signage, in-house graphics,

mounted prints, exhibit graphics, promotional displays, corporate graphics, wall murals, backlit displays, fine art

reproductions, photo-realistic imaging, proofs, directional display and map reproduction.

2. Proofs/Check-Plots

2.1 Application Definition

Any digital design that is printed prior to final approval or project completion to check color, layout, or content is

considered a proof. This application does not require good image density, clarity, high resolution, or quality base

material. In most cases, the print is to be used only once, then thrown out. Multiple versions with only slight changes

may need to be produced. Therefore, an economical grade of paper is preferred as an alternative to a more expensive,

presentation grade paper.

2.2 Suggested Application Ideas

Engineering departments for copies of in-progress designs for use in discussion groups

Corporate organization charts or simple direction signs

Government offices to print town/building plans for presentation or checking

Colleges or offices to post simple text posters for meetings/club schedules

Survey/mapping companies to produce interim “proofs” for review prior to final graphic production

on high quality media
