Large format printing is a digital printing format that typically requires the finished product to be a size of between 18'' to 130''. This is also commonly referred to as wide format printing. Prints that are larger than 120'' are commonly known as the “grand format” amongst many professional printers.
The ability to print what’s really needed rather than ordering more just to get an offset print price-break is one of the ways we keep you on budget and on track. Digital printing is an environmentally-friendly process to complete your eco-friendly project. Conventional printing makes use of wet ink, and transfers a print image via printing plates, but digital printing is much different. In digital print, an image is made ready for printing after using a complex group of formulas and numbers, which capture the print image in pixels.
Then a digitized image is used to manage the transfer of toner, ink, and exposure so as to reproduce any image which you want to print. Most digital printers are either toner-based printers or inkjet printers, and the inkjet printer manages to produce an image by mapping tiny droplets of ink directly onto a paper surface.
When toner is used, a fine, plastic-based powder produces dots that are even smaller than an inkjet printer, and which are transferred in a dry state onto a print surface.
