More Than Posters: How Canon and Epson Large-Format Printers Can Help Expand Your Business

For years, Canon imagePROGRAF PRO and GP-series and Epson SureColor P-Series printers have earned a reputation for producing exceptional photographs, fine art prints, posters, and proofing work. Their image quality is second to none, which is why they're found in photography studios, universities, corporate print departments, and small print shops around the world.

Unfortunately, that reputation has also created a common misconception. Many assume aqueous printers are limited to indoor graphics and that producing outdoor signs or promotional products requires investing in a solvent, latex, or UV printer. While those technologies are certainly the preferred choice for graphics expected to remain outdoors for several years, they aren't the only option.

The reality is that many of the products customers order every day aren't intended to last for years. Grand opening banners, real estate signs, seasonal promotions, event graphics, school signage, retail displays, election materials, and construction notices are often temporary by nature. When paired with the right media, Canon and Epson aqueous printers can produce many of these applications with excellent results. For photographers, artists, and small to medium shops, that's good news.

At Midwest Inkjet, we offer a growing lineup of aqueous media that helps Canon and Epson users move beyond traditional photo printing into a much broader range of profitable applications.

15 mil Scrim Vinyl Banner
Designed for durable indoor and temporary outdoor banners (6 months to a year), making it ideal for grand openings, events, schools, churches, sporting events, and promotional advertising.

BannerFAB
A lightweight, non-woven polypropylene banner material that provides an economical alternative to traditional vinyl banners for retail displays, trade shows, indoor signage, hanging graphics, and short-term promotional applications.

6 mil Premium Adhesive Vinyl WR
A water-resistant adhesive vinyl for temporary outdoor signs, mounted graphics, promotional displays, decals, and retail signage when laminated.

8 mil Water-Resistant Self-Adhesive Polypropylene
Perfect for yard signs, real estate graphics, political signs, construction signage, and other temporary mounted outdoor displays.

Blockout Polypropylene with Removable Adhesive
Designed for temporary retail promotions, window coverings, POP displays, and mounted graphics where clean removal is important.

Photo Tex Removable Wall Fabric
A peel-and-stick fabric media designed for wall murals, office branding, retail décor, trade shows, schools, museums, and interior graphics that remove cleanly.

One of the biggest advantages of Canon and Epson large-format printers is their versatility. The same printer that produces museum-quality photography in the morning can be printing banners for a local fundraiser in the afternoon, yard signs for a contractor the next day, and retail graphics for a nearby business before the week is over.

For many shops and studios, these additional applications represent an opportunity to increase revenue without purchasing another printer. By understanding which media is best suited for each job, shops can confidently offer a wider range of products while continuing to deliver the outstanding print quality aqueous printers are known for.

If you're looking to expand the capabilities of your Canon imagePROGRAF or Epson SureColor printer, Midwest Inkjet offers aqueous media engineered for the applications your customers ask for every day. Whether you're printing banners, signs, photography, posters, wall graphics, or promotional displays, we're here to help you choose the right material for the job and get more value from the equipment you already own.
