There are some printing jobs you can comfortably handle with a standard office printer, such as printing small batches of flyers or leaflets. However, for bigger projects, such as big print runs or large format items, you will need to work with a specialized print shop like our sister company, NC Printing. We have the right experience and equipment to handle large format printing jobs, such as banners, displays, and more. In this article, we will go over a few key things you need to know about large format printing.
- How large is large? – One question many of our customers have about large format printing is how large a document needs to be to be considered “large format.” While there are no official parameters for large format printing, in general anything larger than 18” on a side can be considered a large format print. If you need to print something this size or larger, you will get the best results by going to a large format printer.
- Why use large format printing? – In our experience, some people try to print large items such as banners by breaking the file into multiple standard pages and connecting them together once printed. While this can work, you will get better results by using our large format printing services, as we can print your whole file on a single piece of material, and our equipment will yield higher resolution images.
- What materials can be used in large format printing? – Our large format printing equipment is capable of printing on a variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, vinyl, and more. If you have a material in mind, let us know, and we can determine if it is a good fit for our equipment and for your needs.
