As businesses look for bigger, more eye-catching ways to engage their audiences, large format printing has grown in popularity. APPi has positioned itself at the forefront of this trend, offering large format printing services for everything from outdoor banners to trade show displays. This article explores the technical advancements driving large format printing and how APPi provides value to businesses.
What is Large Format Printing?
Large format printing refers to the production of oversized prints, typically larger than 18 inches in width. Common applications include:
- Billboards
- Posters
- Banners
- Window graphics
- Vehicle wraps
With these larger prints, businesses can make a bold statement, whether at a trade show, retail store, or outdoor advertising location. APPi’s large format printing services utilize advanced digital printers that can print high-resolution graphics on materials such as vinyl, mesh, and fabric.
Technical Advances in Large Format Printing
Advances in digital printing technology have transformed large format printing, making it more efficient and cost-effective. At APPi, we use cutting-edge equipment capable of printing at 1200 DPI, ensuring crisp, detailed images even at large sizes. Here are some of the latest trends and technologies we’ve adopted:
- UV Printing: UV printing uses ultraviolet light to cure the ink as it’s printed, resulting in faster drying times and more durable prints. This is particularly beneficial for outdoor signage, as UV-cured prints are more resistant to fading from sunlight.
- Eco-Solvent Inks: These inks are designed to be less toxic and more environmentally friendly than traditional solvent inks. They offer excellent color vibrancy while reducing harmful emissions during the printing process.
- Latex Inks: Similar to eco-solvent inks, latex inks are water-based and more sustainable. They provide vibrant colors and are highly durable, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- Cutting Technology: Our large format printing process includes automated cutting systems that can produce complex shapes and designs. This allows for custom signage, die-cut graphics, and vehicle wraps that stand out from the competition.
Applications of Large Format Printing for Businesses
Large format printing has a wide range of applications across industries. Here’s how businesses can benefit:
- Retail Signage: Large posters, banners, and window displays are essential for drawing attention to promotions and sales in retail environments. With APPi’s high-quality printing services, businesses can ensure their signage is vibrant and clear.
- Event and Trade Show Displays: Trade show displays are critical for businesses to stand out in crowded environments. We provide a range of customizable options, from popup banners to branded backdrops, all produced using durable materials that withstand multiple uses.
- Real Estate Marketing: Real estate agents use large format printing for for-sale signs, open house banners, and property brochures. APPi’s quick turnaround times and flexible print solutions help agents stay on top of their marketing game.
