Large Format Printing
Big graphics that command attention. Wide-format output for indoor and outdoor — crisp resolution on flex, vinyl and backlit media at any scale.
What is Large Format Printing?
Large format printing produces oversized graphics for outdoor and indoor display, from flex banners and vinyl to backlit signages and building hoardings. Using wide-format presses and durable, weather-resistant media, it turns walls, facades and event spaces into high-impact visual real estate that reaches audiences at scale.
From retail storefronts and exhibition stalls to roll-up standees and event backdrops, large format work bridges branding and physical space. Modern UV and eco-solvent inks deliver vivid, fade-resistant colour on virtually any substrate, so a single artwork reproduces crisply from a table-top standee to a multi-storey building wrap.
Match the media to the viewing distance
Large format is specified by viewing distance, not absolute dpi — a hoarding read at 50 m can be output at 30 dpi and still look crisp. Pick media by where the graphic lives and how far away the viewer stands.
| Media | Weight | Use |
|---|---|---|
| PVC flex | 300–340 gsm | Hoardings and long-distance outdoor viewing |
| Star flex | — | Standees and exhibition graphics, viewed 10–15 ft |
| Backlit flex | 440 gsm (light) / 510 gsm (premium) | Lightboxes with 25–35% light transmittance |
| Vinyl (adhesive) | — | Wall graphics, vehicle wraps, floor decals |
| Mesh | — | Building wraps that let wind pass through; low windload |
How to spec dpi for wide-format
Six standing rules for setting up files that RIP cleanly at any scale.
- 150 dpi
- Minimum for close-view large-format output at final size
- 300 dpi
- Standees, exhibition panels and any surface viewed under 5 ft
- 600 dpi
- Fine detail on UV full-colour flatbed output
- Viewing distance rule
- Large format is specified by distance, not absolute dpi; hoardings tolerate lower dpi than standees
- Scale table
- Artwork often supplied at 10% with proportional bleed and colour bars, then scaled at RIP
- Colour proofing
- Take a small-format contract proof from the same RIP profile as the final press to sign off colour
