Large-format printing
What is Large Format Printing?
While small format printing is what people interact with on an everyday basis (magazines, books, cereal boxes), large format printing refers to printed materials that might be measured in feet as opposed to inches. Also known as wide format, large format printing requires equipment that is specialized for material sizes that will end up as blueprints, building wraps, store displays, wall panels at trade shows, oversized posters, big maps, banners, billboards, and other large printed projects.
Large format printing is ideal for catching the eye of customers in urban landscapes where marketing is visible around every corner. With large format printing, you can present a lot of detail over a sizable area with attention-grabbing graphic design. Despite the massive size available for your marketing, SpeedPro is able to capture your graphics with high resolutions: Our printers can print up to 1440 x 1440 dpi, with standard print resolution of 720 x 720.
Very specialized and costly equipment is required to produce large format printing projects. SpeedPro digital output is up to 6′ wide by 300′ long roll-fed and 5′ wide by 18′ long flatbed. Output can be tiled to produce full-color images of any size. This capability means that your options drastically increase when you consider large format printing for your project.
Screen printing was once preferable for quality, but the current technology involved in large format printing equipment has evened the playing field. The efficiency in production available through the use of machines has brought the cost down, as well, and now many people prefer large format printing over screen printing as in many cases it costs less. Combined with scale and quicker turnaround, large format printing is very cost-effective.
Due to the many possibilities of size, large format projects are often some of the best ways to promote services and products to potential customers at your storefront or out at events. Festivals, trade shows, and other large spaces are perfect opportunities to display eye-catching large advertisements.
You might even consider large format printing as a way to boost your own branding both in your neighborhood and inside the very spaces of your company. You could offer sponsored building wraps or sports banners to local charities or schools, or even have special customer wallpaper printed that can feature anything you like for inside the halls of your company’s offices.
There is almost no end to the kind of projects you can undertake with large format printing. Price will be affected by your chosen medium (what you actually print on) and the final size you want to go with. Here is a small list of projects you could take on with large format printing. It’s not exhaustive by any means, as you might be able to think of other different ways to present your marketing:

- Point-of-purchase displays
- Window Clings

- Large maps or charts
- Trade show wall panels
