Banners are a class of display graphics used to inform and advertise, printed on one or both sides, mainly in full color. They can vary in terms of substrate, format, quality of printing, finishing depending on usage and location. For formats up to A3 size, toner-based cut-sheet machines are a quick and cost-effective production method, while wide format inkjet printers are used for very wide banner production. The B2 cut-sheet digital press offers a cost-efficient alternative for mid-size posters and the like.
