Advanced Large Format Printing Techniques

Key Ink Technologies

Our digital presses employ UV, solvent, and sublimation methods, each selected for optimal performance on specific materials.

UV Printing uses inkjet droplets cured instantly by ultraviolet light via a photosensitive resin. Capable of handling rolls up to 5 meters wide, it's our highest-volume technique, adhering reliably to diverse substrates.

Solvent Inks offer superior water and UV resistance. Heated substrates allow inks to penetrate deeply, ensuring durability against abrasion. Also supporting 5-meter rolls, this economical method excels for high-volume retail banners.

Sublimation transfers vibrant dyes from paper to fabric under heat and pressure. Dedicated machines sandwich kraft paper, printed paper, and fabric, yielding vivid colors on widths up to 1.6 meters.

Material Changes and Setup

Technicians load substrate rolls and recalibrate for color fidelity, generating test strips that consume about 2 meters. Orders are batched by material (e.g., wallpaper, tear-proof paper, textiles) to minimize waste.

Plexiglass Printing

A specialized flatbed printer handles plexi up to 3m x 2m, layering white ink over CMYK for enhanced protection and opacity.

Rigorous Quality Control

Post-print inspection on the control table verifies dimensions, colors, text, and flawlessness. Non-conforming pieces are rare but promptly reprinted by our skilled technicians.

Precision Cutting

Automated cutters follow programmed coordinates for efficiency. Blades or rollers suit substrates up to 3mm; cutters handle thicker rigid materials up to 10mm. Fragile media like graph-it paper require hand-cutting with rulers, knives, and scissors on expansive tables.

  • Hems: Double-folded, sewn edges like on jeans.
  • Straps: Rigid 5cm reinforcements for structural support.
  • Eyelets: Reinforced perforations for hook mounting, often with straps.
  • Pockets: Sewn tubular edges for rods, similar to curtain headers.
