Data Graphics Promotions is an award-winning wide format printer that specializes in solving your printing problems, and is dedicated to making you forget about all other printers. Wide format printing (sometimes called large format printing) is a term that applies to any print project where the width is between 18” and 100.” Anything larger than that is considered “grand format,” rather than large format printing. Projects smaller than 18” are typically done on traditional screen presses or digital printers, which we can also do. Wide format digital printing is  versatile, but there are limitations. Please feel free to consult our experts at 800-714-3583 to determine if large format digital printing is your best option, and whether Data Graphics Promotions is the best wide format printer for you.

Is Large Format Digital Printing Right for You?

Stunning Custom Printers + Wide Format Printing Prices = Value

Before jumping straight to the wide format printing prices for your large banner printing and corrugated plastic signs, let’s consider the strengths and weaknesses of wide format digital printing.

Advantages of Large Format Printing

  • Large Format Digital Printing Is…Large – The obvious advantage of wide format digital printing is size. For large format digital printing on rigid substrate, we can print 4’x8’. For large format digital printing on flexible substrate, we are only limited by length of the material you are able to purchase, and 30” in width.  We have a great deal of flexibility in large format printing.
  • Large Format Printers Create Picture Quality Images – Large format digital printing captures extraordinarily fine detail impossible through other methodologies.  Large format digital printing reproduces color gradients and fades, capturing color subtleties that no other form or printing can match. Whether you want picture quality corrugated plastic signs, or stunning large banner printing, large format digital printing is the obvious choice.
    Versatility of Large Format Printing– The best wide format printers, like our Acuity Advance, is capable of producing photo quality images on diverse substrate, including CPVC, polycarbonate, acrylic, styrene, Plexiglas, canvas, wood, aluminum composite, corrugated plastic signs and many other materials.  Our Roland SP can print on a wide variety of materials, including polyethylene film vinyl, canvas, paper, and virtually any fabric.
  • Affordable Wide Format Printing Prices – Large format digital printing can be the low cost solution, especially for smaller runs. There are a lot of unavoidable “set up” fees, which can be prohibitive on small runs of large format printing, such as artwork, producing dies, and creating the screen(s) used in screen printing. Our large format printing services are often able to bypass the artwork fees on large format digital printing projects. Our Roland VersaCAMM provides simultaneous contour cutting, eliminating the need to fabrication. There is no screen creation involved in large format digital printing, which further lowers the wide format printing prices. Even a short run of corrugated plastic signs, or one-off large banner printing can still be affordable.
  • Variable Data Large Format Digital Printing – Occasionally, clients need large banner printing, corrugated plastic signs, and other large format printing projects with barcode, QR codes, IUIDs, data matrix, or sequential/serialized numbering. The best wide format printers have the capacity, and we are happy to provide these wide format printing services when needed.
  • Wide Format Digital Printing Can Be Very Fast – Most large format printing projects, especially multi-color projects, can be done faster with large format printers than other tools. DG Promotions can create thousands of individual corrugated plastic signs, large banner printing jobs, and other large format printing projects every day.

Wide Format Digital Printing Limitations

  • Wide Format Digital Printing Is Limited in Color – Clients who have previously worked with Data Graphics know our team of color gurus are exceptional at custom matching your colors. Even the best wide format printer uses exclusively PMS colors, so custom colors are not possible. Fortunately, PMS provides a wide color spectrum, and is the industry standard, so this limitation is minimal.
  • Large Format Digital Printing Has Limited Durability – If your coroplast sign or large banner printing project is going to be exposed to saltwater, abrasions, chemicals, extreme heat, or heavy wear and tear, wide format digital printing may not be for you. Large format printers use inks which are not rated to withstand harsh elements.
  • Ultra-Violet Light, Inks, Dyes and Vibrancy – No large format printers can match the coverage and vibrancy of screen presses. However, there is a huge difference between the coverage, color quality, especially UV resistance of different types of inks/dyes.

Why the Inks and Dyes Used In Large Format Printing Are So Important

The best wide format printers know inks are the key.

  • Plotter/Pen – Technically, these are wide format printing services. Plotters employ ink pens to create oversized images, but these are primarily used for CAD and not applicable for most clients. We don’t offer this particular wide format printing service.
  • Aqueous Pigment – Considered to be a water-based dye, technically this is a pigment held by a non-reactive solution. Large format printers that utilize this ink are capable of resisting some UV fading. The colors, however are generally duller, the pigment is not completely water-proof, and the color pallet is limited. This is commonly used for large banner printing and other flexible (non-rigid) applications such as corrugated plastic signs. We don’t believe this particular wide format printing methodology is best for our clients.
  • Aqueous Dye – Also considered to be a water-based dye, technically this is a dye held by a non-reactive solution. Large format printers that utilize this dye have a wider range of colors available, and are able to print in more vibrant colors. Large format color printers utilizing these dyes, however, are very susceptible to damage from both water/moisture and UV exposure. They must always have a protective UV coating to even be considered for outdoor applications. This is commonly used for large banner printing and other non-rigid applications. We don’t believe this particular wide format printing methodology is best for our clients.
  • Eco-Solvent Ink – Any ink that employs glycol esters as the liquid in the solution is considered Eco-Solvent. It is much more weather resistant than the aqueous inks, because it is not water-based. The glycol esters create a chemical bond between ink and substrate. This ink has low toxicity, and as the name implies, is more environmentally friendly than other inks. Our Roland VersaCAMM is one of Roland’s best wide format printers, and utilizes this ink exclusively. That gives it a huge advantages among large format printers. Moreover, It is the best wide format printer for many tasks, because the Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology “virtually eliminates banding by optimizing masking patterns and dot placement at the edge of each pass,” The Roland is the perfect tool for large banner printing and other non-rigid applications. We believe this is one of the best large format digital printing methodologies for our clients.
  • UV Ink – Some of the best wide format printers utilize ink that is cured by UV rays, not damaged by them. Unlike traditional “heat-dried” inks, these inks cure through UV exposure on a specialized machine. This ink creates prints that are virtually impervious to UV, and bad weather. Of the large format printers, this creates the most vibrant colors. Our Acuity Advance Select Arizona flatbed is a UV large format printer that is so advanced it stands out even among the best wide format printers. “With outstanding image quality and excellent adhesion to a broad range of materials, the Acuity Advance can produce an amazing variety of printed products for distance and close viewing.”  That high quality image endures the harshest UV exposure. This is typically used on corrugated plastic signs and other rigid applications. We believe this is one of the best large format digital printing methodologies for our clients.
