Preparing a File for Large Format Printing


For the most part, preparing a document to print on our large format printer is the same as preparing a document for conventional digital printing. The biggest difference with producing prints of this magnitude are print size and image quality.

wide
Because we will be producing a very large print from your digital file, it's important to make sure that the images in your document are fairly high quality. In the sample above, you will notice that the image starts to look more jagged as it is enlarged. Images and pictures from web pages usually do not enlarge without a very significant loss in quality. If you are wanting a photo or art quality print, please visit with one of our customer service representatives so that we can assist you in making sure that you get the results you are looking for.


Key Points:


    Use high quality images and photos. When enlarged, these elements degrade in quality. As a general rule, 300 dpi images and photos will always look good.

    Avoid using graphics copied from the web.

    If using scanned photos, use 300dpi or higher resolution settings.

    Keep in mind that posters and large prints are usually viewed from a distance.

    Call or email us if you have questions or need help.

Page sizing is another important factor in setting up your document for large prints. You basically have two options when creating a file:


    Set the page size to match the final print size.

    Use a standard, or smaller page size and have us enlarge it to fit. Keep in mind that enlarging the file decreases the resolution of the print. See the above topic for more information about this.
