Printing billboards...

[TommyD]

Hi there,

I'm going to be printing some A2 posters for my girlfriend. They'll be pasted up outside onto billboards.

Does anybody have any tips on what paper gsm I should use to make sure they're hardy enough to withstand rain?

I'll be using water based System 3 ink with medium. From the tests I've done this seems to withstand water. Any hints appreciated.

Cheers.

If you are truly pasting them then it doesn't matter so much as the paste will do all the work of keeping them up. Otherwise thicker is better.
