Xerox Outdoor Poster Paper – Blue Back 120 g/m

Product Description
A water-resistant, highly-opaque poster paper suitable for indoor graphics and outdoor signage. High ink
capacity allows bright prints in a broad color gamut. Blue backing reinforces the paper’s high opacity, to minimize
show-through when pasted over other images. The blue back also gives this paper the required properties for
backlit display applications, providing an economical alternative to film-based backlit media.

This material may expand up to 3% when wet and will shrink back to within 1% of its original size. If intended
installation surface requires exact size specification, and particularly for multi-panel displays, experiment and
consider adjusting the image size to compensate.

While this media is capable of withstanding soaking in water, soaking is not recommended due to the limitations
of water-based inks. Let the graphic dry for at least 24 hours prior to pasting to improve image durability.
