Solvent printing is a method of printing using a computer peripheral device called an ink plotter. In polygraphy and other areas requiring frequent printing, water-based ink is usually used. Solvent prints are based on solvent inks which are prepared on the basis of organic solvents. Thanks to this, they are used where water-based inks cannot be used. They are not just a replacement but can be applied in printing on every surface containing PVC.

The solvent printing method has gained popularity not only because of its universality. It is also relatively cheap compared to other methods offered by printing houses. It is also characterised by being highly resistant to the action of unfavourable conditions. Advertising using the solvent method also resists the action of UV rays and changing temperatures, maintaining its original appearance for a long time. That is why solvents are so eagerly used for big format printing intended for outdoor use.
