Large format printing. What is it?

Digital printing on a large format, with a full-color image on polygraphic, or non-polygraphic materials, is called large-format printing. It is one of the forms of digital inkjet printing, differing from other types of printing in that it allows the use of materials with a length of tens of meters. The image itself is applied with a print head, distributing the ink drops onto the substrate.

Until the early 1970s, the very notion of "wide format printing " was completely different from the present one, and it meant simply printing on photo paper of a wide format. The format designation was in inches or centimeters. Say, a fingerprint measuring 30 * 40cm. Already considered wide format. And there were no abstract notation like A1, or R2.

The state of affairs has changed with the advent of computer technology. Thanks to the general computerization, it became possible to apply an image, not only on a flat carrier, but also on a roll. Over the years, this technology has become more and more perfect and affordable, which led to its relevance, and large-format printing format A1, has become one of its most popular forms.

Wide-format printing, like products, is used quite widely. Most often, for printing a wide format, there is an application in outdoor advertising, advertising on transport, sometimes in domestic advertising, and for interior decoration. With the help of such advertising, shop windows and building facades, concert halls and window openings are designed. Using a wide format printing, you can create a billboard of any size. Advertising created with this seal is one of the most effective ways to convey information to the consumer.

It is important that such a seal can be applied to various media, whether it's a self-adhesive film, banner paper, or the most common paper. To create an image, use solvent paint, resistant to temperature changes, not afraid of rain, snow, or heat. Solvent paint provides image quality and long service life.

For interior large format printing, high color quality and high resolution are characteristic. Media as well any - vinyl, fabric, oracal, paper, film. Modern paints make it possible to laminate the image, they do not penetrate the material, but are located on the surface. It is also possible to perform such operations with the finished image, as applying an adhesive layer, a mounting mesh, etc.

Printing for outdoor advertising does not need additional protection, thanks to the same solvent dyes. Because of this, such a seal has a low cost.
