Wide Format Printing
Digital wide format printing was first introduced to the industry as an alternative to analog proofing methods in the late 80's. As the name suggests, wide format refers to output that exceeds 2-up page sizes. With technology and output quality improved, the industry throughout the years has begun to accept wide format printing as an alternative to conventional printing methods for very small print runs. Today, GRS Sign Company Limited uses wide format printing for several different applications including fine-art prints, large murals for outdoor and billboard ads, retail signage, and corporate signage.
This example of wide format printing is on an aluminium composite tray formed to allow the sign to stand off from the wall. This sign could also be considered a corporate sign because of the use of the company logo and because this is a one-off design using specific colours provided by the company, this is also a bespoke sign.
