WIDE FORMAT PRINTING — GO BIG!
Our wide format printing department specializes in sustainable, custom signs and displays. We utilize two types of printers; an aqueous 12-color photo printer and a 4ft x 8ft flatbed UV printer. The aqueous printer uses planet friendly, water based inks to produce stunning photo-quality posters up to 42″ wide. The flatbed printer uses non-toxic (VOC free), UV light-cured inks that are applied directly to rigid substrates up to 4ft x 8ft and up to 1.75″ thick. What does that mean? It means we can print directly to rigid substrates such as foam core, aluminum, acrylic and even wood. We also carry a line of recycled and recyclable substrates. By printing direct, recyclable boards stay recyclable.

Our Wide Format Printing is Sustainable
Our wide format printers use non-toxic, solvent free inks in conjunction with precision spray nozzles. This wastes less ink and retains the recyclable properties of the material being printed on. QSL carries a variety of 100% recyclable materials including a new outdoor banner material made of recycled plastic bottles. Learn how QSL pursues sustainability each and every day.
Substrates
Lightweight Foam Core
- 3/16″ thick
- 48″ x 96″ printable area
- white edge
Our economy-grade foam core has a smooth, bright white paper face that reproduces consistent, exceptional color in any light. This substrate is best suited for short-term indoor signs, point-of-purchase displays, and posters. For signs that will be handled often, we recommend our rigid foam core or our 100% recyclable Falcon Board.
Rigid Foam Core
- 3/16″ thick
- 48″ x 96″ printable area
- white or black edge
A super smooth, moisture resistant polystyrene face provides extra stability and makes the ink pop! This sturdy but lightweight foam core is great for long-term interior signs, presentation graphics, stand-up displays, wall-mounted displays, and fine art. These boards are meant to be handled.
FalconBoard
- 1/4″ or 1/2″ thick
- 48″ x 96″ printable area
- up to 20% recycled content
- 100% curbside recyclable
This paper-based, environmentally responsible rigid board is a great alternative to foam core. Our 1/4″ thick boards come in white with a kraft edge (cardboard brown) or you can try out our all kraft boards which look great with white ink! Want to go big? Our 1/2″ thick Falcon board remains rigid at 7 feet tall making it a great option for floor stands.
Eco-Display Board
- 1.2 mm thick
- 48″ x 96″ printable area
- 30% pre-consumer recycled material
- spruce wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed forestry
Eco-display board is the most sustainable substrate we carry. This all natural wood pulp board uses NO chemicals, bleaches or harmful whitening agents. The printable face is made of 96 white point paper with a matte finish which produces brilliant colors and sharp image quality. Even the glue that holds it together is an all natural starch adhesive. Eco-display board is the perfect option for framed interior signs and POP displays.
PVC
- 3mm and 6mm thick
- 48″ x 96″ printable area
- white edge
Our lightweight yet rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a low gloss matte finish is ideal for restaurants and food retailers because it can be wiped clean with a soapy sponge without damaging the print. PVC also maintains it’s shape and white point in environments where fryers are being used.
Roll-to-Roll Media
Like the name suggests, roll media is printable material that comes on a roll. We stock a variety of poster papers, banner material, and adhesive films to accommodate a diverse spectrum of wide format products.
