Paper Versus Film

We print on either photograde paper or on a polymer film. Once printed we apply a laminate, which adds another layer of protection and reduces glare. The laminate also allows for a light cleaning — a big bonus when the graphic is in a high traffic area.

Why choose film over paper? We do both! At Image House, we’ve drawn on our years of combined experience and done a lot of research and we’ve concluded that this option delivers a more vibrant and durable graphic image.
