Infographic Digital Printing & Large Format Technology
The world of large format printing and digital printing has witnessed a tremendous transformation thanks to new printing technology as the printing infographic below will show. We’ve witnessed an explosion of different kinds of digital works of arts, plus large format printing that feature many other forms of unique print designs.
Inevitably, the world of packaging and marketing has also transformed a great deal over the years. With the emerging printing technology, manufacturers and advertisers can enjoy high quality results in packaging, prototyping, and package proofing, while increasing visibility and returns.
Wide format and digital prints involve printing materials of different sizes and nature. Wide (or large format) printing can range in size from 24 inches and above and mounted on different substrates. Digital printing can be done on materials of up to 12 X 18 inches and laminated. The printing infographic below summarizes the following information.

Large format prints are normally printed, cut, etched, and frosted. Other types of wide format printing include environmental graphics, which are sets of printed materials designed for information design, and way-finding brand communication.
Large format printing creates an environment through design, built on different applications such as retail store interiors, galleries, exhibitions, streets and museums among other environments. We also offer wall graphics catering to those who need text or graphic designs applied directly to the wall, for enhanced interior or exterior designs. Wall graphics can be used for marketing or decoration with high quality results.
