Posters are no longer just for teenagers' bedrooms: take a look on social media and you'll see graphic artwork is very much having a moment in both home interiors and public spaces. And since posters remain a fantastic advertising tool – having been established back in the 1880s – there are even more opportunities for printing professionals to get creative.
There is an exciting variety of Roland technology perfect for poster printing and producing colourful advertising displays, compatible with your choice of material and creative style. Be inspired by these examples of eye-popping posters.
This vivid graphic design really stands out amid the band and movie posters on this record shop wall. The combination of the Roland TrueVIS VG2's clean, bright colours with crisp white cardstock and a spacious frame makes for a very cool poster. TrueVIS VG2 systems have an integrated cutting function too, so you could even print and contour-cut covetable stickers to match. In fact, Dutch TrueVIS VG2 user Gielen Reclame says the VG2 achieves 'unbelievably accurate' cuts with no white edges around logos and graphics.
The new TrueVIS VG2 series printer/cutter features Roland’s new TR2 ink with Orange, to really expand the breadth of colour you can achieve when printing posters. Gielen Reclame says it can complete 'even better prints' thanks to the Orange ink, making it easier than ever to print artwork and logos.
