Large format printing. Banners, wallpapers, vinyl. Made to order in colour or monochrome.

Large format printing refers to the printing of images on a variety of materials to produce bright and bold results on a large scale without compromising on the quality of your design.

Although this may seem like an unfamiliar term, most of us are exposed to large format printing daily in the form of billboards, advertisements on the sides of cars and buses, banners, and more.

How does it work?


Large format printing makes use of a press in order to lay down toner through multiple nozzles. The ink is applied directly onto your choice of material and is exposed to a rapid drying process which ensures the clarity of your print. Although this printing process is quick, the quality of your designs remain intact.

The general printing width of this method ranges from 600 mm to 11 metres – making your possibilities endless!

Considerations for large format printing

When considering large format printing as your printing solution, there are a few factors to keep in mind to ensure that this form is suited to your needs. Where your final print will be viewed should be a key deciding factor, as it will determine how clear, and how much detail will be needed in your design.

A common misconception is that larger prints should have a higher printing resolution, which is not always the case for prints being viewed from afar. Three hundred dots per inch (dpi) is unnecessary for larger prints. Instead, one hundred dpi is better suited as the distanced visual is still of high quality whilst keeping the file size optimal for the printing process.
