Digital Large Format Printing - by TLC

By: Tom Snover

Digital Large Format Printing focuses on large printing. The size runs from 11 x 17 inch posters to large posters from floor to ceiling. It is not only the size that is varied with Digital Large Format Printing, but also the fabric on which the printing is done. Apart from the digital format, even and offset printing can be performed.

The number can range from one to 90 pieces in the case of digital large format printing and even thousands of pieces regarding the offset printing. Eventually since the size of paper becomes larger, the cost tends to increase as well. But 1 advantage is that the cost decreases as the quantity of prints ordered increases. This is whats called wholesale printing and several profitable discounts are allotted for it.

Digital Large Format Printing can be used for both indoor as well as outdoor uses. Some of the materials commonly used in digital large format printing are the Artist Canvas, Gloss text, Partial gloss and high gloss, vinyl fabric banners, adhesives, etc. The Artist canvas is the material used for oil paintings. The material's texture brings out the deepness in the colors, eliminates dull surface finishes and results in a digital large format printing that is close to an oil painting in similarity. When the image to be printed is in high res, the result is the same as that of photographic quality. This is mostly preferred as the material is not fragile and it does not rip or fade easily. You can use it for both indoor and outdoor purposes as it is water resistant. Generally utilized as banners, posters, portraits, murals, etc.

Another popular digital large format printing is the gloss text. This resembles the pages of a magazine. The finish is actually smooth as well as glossy like that of the journal printed material. If the issue to be printed is a picture, the quality is actually even better along with complete original appeal. This can be utilized only for large numbers of indoor printing as posters, leaflets, pin-ups, etc.

A different type of digital large format printing is the vinyl fabric banners. It is UV coated in order to prevent the sun from wearing off the print. This UV protection also offers an additional sheen to the finished print. The final print is not smooth as in the case of the artist canvas or the gloss printing. Rather it is grainy. This really gives the greatest impression when viewed from a distance and it is generally used for outdoor printing purposes alone. Like the other groups, it is water-resistant, sun proof, and tear-resistant and may last for many years. It is used for billboards, ad banners, etc.
