Best media for HP Latex printers

Best media for HP Latex printers

HP Latex printers are the workhorse behind most sign and display work, wall coverings, canvas, posters, backlit graphics, and more. Because Latex inks cure with heat rather than solvent evaporation, they're compatible with a wide range of flexible, uncoated and specialty materials that aqueous printers can't run. Here's what to reach for, by application.

Best media by application

Interior décor and wall coverings

For feature walls, murals and interior branding, you want a paper built for clean removal and a smooth, paintable finish.

Good place to start: Wall Coverings collection or HP PVC-free Wall Paper.

Canvas for fine art and photo display

Gallery walls, portraits and photo reproductions do best on a canvas built for rich colour and a fine art finish.

Good place to start: Canvas Materials collection or HP Premium Satin Canvas.

Posters and photo prints

For point of sale, event graphics and general photo printing at scale, a dedicated poster paper gives you strong colour without the cost of canvas.

Good place to start: Paper/Photo Materials collection or HP Premium Poster Paper.

Backlit signage and lightboxes

Illuminated displays need a film built to diffuse light evenly without losing colour or contrast.

Good place to start: Films collection or HP Backlit Polyester Film.

POS, retail displays and temporary graphics

For displays that need to go up and come down without damaging walls or windows, a removable adhesive fabric is the safer choice over a permanent vinyl.

Good place to start: Adhesive Materials collection or HP Removable Adhesive Fabric.
