Large Format Printing



Large format printings are generally accepted to be any printer with a print width between 17" and 100". Printers over the 100" mark may be called Super-Large or Grand format. Large format printers are used to print banners, posters and general signage and in some cases may be more economical than short-run methods such as screen printing. Large format printers generally use a roll of print material rather than individual sheets and may incorporate hot-air dryers to prevent prints from sticking to themselves as they are produced.

Architects in most architectural firms make use of large format printers for their billboard-sized building and architectural plans. These plans and designs of buildings are generated by computer and passed on for large file printing. Most of the time, the plans printed are for buildings that will be constructed soon. Event coordinators and party planners are also using large file printers for their jobs. They can create banners used for highlighting parties and as decorations for the events they organize.
