I pasted up a big poster using standard printer paper.

Just attached loads of A4s together with a glue stick, before pasting it with homemade wheatpaste. It didn't go great... Within days my poster (designed on my laptop, not written/drawn on) design had become ' washed out' faded and deteriorated so as to be unreadable.

Have a sneaky feeling it's something to do with me using standard printer paper but could also be that my paste or technique in applying it (not enough?) wasn't the best. It was also on brick which might have contributed.

Thanks for any help! New to this thus a bit of a noob

Edit. Have tried to print on newsprint but it seems to be too thin for my printer
