Large Format Digital Printing

Large format printing, also commonly referred to as Wide Format Printing is the fastest growing segment of digital printing. Printed on scores of different substrates, Large Format can be up to 60″ wide and hundreds of feet long if necessary. WF image ouput is much slower than small format output rates but that’s changing rapidly as WF looks to catch up with it’s smaller format cousin.

Wide-Format is, by default, produced from rolls of substrate material but the rise of flat-bed output devices is rapidly looking to replace the roll as the defacto standard. Flat-bed devices can print directly on almost any kind of substrate (think plywood, plastic, metal) eliminating the need to affix the print to a more rigid backer (foamcore, gatorboard, plywood).

Grand Format Digital Printing

Digital Printing that exceeds the 60″ width limitation of Large Format output devices has crossed over into the realm of Grand Format Printing. Billboards, larger real estate signage, and over-sized banners would fall under this heading.

Digital machinery for this non-commodity classification costs millions of dollars, and the finished product can be pricey, but the quality is outstanding and let’s face it, when you need a “World Champions” banner measuring 20′ x 30′, it’s worth the price!
