Keeping pace with a competitive industry is crucial. And studies have shown that more than 90% of wide-format print jobs need to be turned around within 24 hours. To meet tight deadlines while producing high-impact, complex projects, your print shop cannot afford a mistake or failure. That’s why upgrading your large format printers can help you stay competitive in this fast-paced environment.
Investing in a large format printer can provide your business with several advantages. It ensures you can meet high print volumes and execute demanding projects. This not only saves time but also reduces costs in the long run.
In addition, updating your large format printing equipment (or expanding your print shop to include large format printing opportunities) allows your company to access advanced capabilities available only in new devices. This includes making more efficient use of ink and toner or advanced features like power saving mode.
Here’s some ideas for projects you’ll be able to print and tips to make sure your large format printer performs productively:
RELATED: How to Know When It’s Time to Invest in a Large Format Printer
If you visit the Gordon Flesch Company (GFC) demo showroom at our headquarters in Madison, Wis., the first thing you'll notice is a giant photograph of the local downtown area, blown up to cover an entire wall. It's an arresting image and we believe it's the kind of thing more businesses should do to impress and welcome visitors to an office, store or event.
Wall murals can be a game-changer for your business environment. They not only create a visually appealing space but also effectively communicate a brand's story and values. Large format printers can produce high-resolution, detailed murals that can transform any space into an immersive experience. Whether you want to showcase your company's history, highlight key products, or simply create a more engaging atmosphere, a large format printer can make it happen.
Wall murals can be a game-changer for any environment. They not only create a visually appealing space but also effectively set a mood for the room. Add a wall mural to an athletic locker room to motivate athletes. Or to a boardroom, designed to create an inviting atmosphere for meetings. At GFC, several of our regional branch headquarters feature a cartoon wall mural of local landmarks as décor in the break rooms to enhance our culture of community. Fun and function all in one!

RELATED: Will a Large Format Printer Result in ROI?
The most impactful and eye-catching creative content is produced with large format printers. The result is sleek, bold and beautiful imagery that will make an impact for any business, whether printing a mural for a wall or large posters or banners.
Banners and posters are essential tools for marketing and promotions. Whether it's for trade shows, conferences, retail promotions or community events, large format printers can produce vibrant and durable banners and posters that capture attention. These large format prints can be tailored to any size and specification, ensuring your message stands out in any setting.
Large format printers are incredibly versatile, capable of printing on a variety of media. This includes vehicle wraps, which turn cars and trucks into mobile billboards, as well as theater backdrops that create an immersive stage experience. These printing powerhouses also produce large format artwork and signage. The ability to print on diverse materials like vinyl, fabric and adhesive-backed media expands the possibilities for creative expression and functional applications.
Enlarging a graphic doesn't always produce the crisp, clear image you hoped for. Use these tips and tricks to help ensure your large format printing projects are as true-to-life as possible.
Best DPI for Printing Large Photos: Smaller print sizes like standard posters or brochures typically require a minimum of 300 dots per inch (dpi) or pixels per inch (ppi), up to 600 dpi. Large format printing, however, typically uses image files that are 100 dpi resolution.
Improve Image Clarity & Minimize Pixelation: When printing large format images, look out for pixelated edges and noise – areas of random variation of brightness or color. The best file types to create an image from are vector files (.EPS or .SVG).
File Formats for Large Format Printers: Your graphic designers should create a vector file format like SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and output them as a PDF, TIFF or EPS files. Avoid file formats like JPG and PNG for digital images, which may not produce the print quality and clarity you want.
