Would glossy paper be the same as poster paper?

    Would it be the same? Or would it be better to print it on normal paper then have it coated? and where is a good place to get them? 24 inch.

    Thank you, David.

    Get samples.

    Test print samples.

    Otherwise "poster paper" "glossy paper" and "normal paper" could be anything. Or at least, what exact papers are we talking about here?

    Ultimately, UV coated after printing is going to be the nicest if you're looking for a perfectly even and high gloss finish.

    I'm looking for the same type you pick up at the stores. Good answer samples. But glossy paper, with the ink on there, won't take longer to dry up?

    UV coated sounds nice.

    I'm not quite sure of your question or desire with this job. If you think that enamel will take longer to dry than offset then you are mistaken. What are you trying to print and what is you or your companies goal with the job. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
