Bring your original photographic or graphic creations to life with flexible direct-to-substrate printing. With a choice of six different media, your images will adapt to any situation and any surface thanks to high-definition technology. For your interior decoration or events, you can print your image in very large format.
Direct printing on flexible materials can be used in a multitude of ways and hung in many different ways. You can decorate all or part of your walls with your creations thanks to a choice of pre-glued wallpapers, you can organise an exhibition in the middle of nowhere thanks to the use of tarpaulins or you can create made-to-measure decorations for your events by opting for adhesive vinyl.
We print in our workshops in Picto Grand Paris on very large format printers.
On the Picto Online platform, we offer six types of media, each with its own uses and characteristics.
For a number of years now, tarpaulin has been the medium of choice for photographers who want to hang their work in very large, unusual outdoor locations.
Tarpaulin printing is highly resistant and can be used for very large format printing, with specific hanging methods (eyelets, sleeves, clip-on bars, etc.) depending on the exhibition conditions.
There are 4 types of tarpaulin. Frontlit 450g tarpaulin, non-flammable (M1) with a matt finish, ideal for indoor or outdoor use. Low-flammability opaque tarpaulin (M2), which is completely opaque thanks to its 650g thickness, particularly suitable for outdoor use.
The 420g non-flammable (M1) anticurl tarpaulin retains all its flatness. This high-quality white canvas is ideal for large-format exhibitions or visual communication items such as kakemonos or roll-ups...
Finally, the low-flammability (M2) 460g diffusing tarpaulin is reserved for use in backlighting, more suited to shop windows.
Increasingly used in exhibition scenography, wallpaper makes it easy to cover sections or entire walls with our pre-glued backings. You can choose between M1-rated, non-flammable 175g wallpaper with a satin finish or 180g non-woven wallpaper with a matt finish.
The final print run will probably require multi-ply printing, with a strip width of 131 cm, managed directly from the Picto Online platform. This is an ideal solution for permanent or semi-permanent use.
For a more ephemeral solution that's more affordable than wallpaper, Blue Back can be displayed quickly and with great coverage thanks to its opacity for indoor or outdoor walls. It can be used on all or part of a wall.
Satin paper is an ideal alternative for your poster projects, event wraps and other large-format one-off communications.
Monomeric Adhesive Vinyl can be used to cover walls or facades without the addition of glue. It can be printed in a wide range of formats to suit your needs. It is generally used for communication and advertising purposes, but can also be perfectly suited to exhibition set design, where works of art need to be easy to hang.
Particularly for large formats, this sticker requires special care and expertise.
