Large-format inkjet vs latex printing

Printing Options:

We offer a range of in-house printing services, including graphic design, photo printing, and large-format printing. Our equipment includes a laser printer, an archival photo printer, and two large-format printers (inkjet and latex).

Large-Format Inkjet Printing:

Our large-format inkjet printer handles large posters and prints on various materials, including:

  • Basic and heavyweight paper
  • Semi and high-gloss papers
  • Kodak metallic gloss
  • Indoor banners
  • Tyvek

Large-Format Latex Printing:

Our latex printer is versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications and materials, such as:

  • Wall graphics
  • Floor graphics
  • Indoor and outdoor banners
  • Window clings

Laser Printing:

We use laser printing for flyers, postcards, brochures, and small signage up to oversized tabloid size (12" × 18"). We offer a variety of paper stocks; for specialty paper, please call ahead to check availability.

Archival Photo Printing:

Archival photo printing involves creating fine art reproductions of museum quality using high-resolution, UV-resistant inks and papers. These prints can last over 250 years when framed under UV glass.

To Get Started:

Please select one of the following printing options:

  • Laser Printing (up to 12" × 18")
  • Large-Format Inkjet Printing (up to 62" wide)
  • Large-Format Latex Printing (up to 62" wide)
  • Archival Photo Prints (up to ANSI-C, 22" × 17")

Large-Format Inkjet Printing

Large-format inkjet printing uses aqueous pigmented ink to produce large-scale posters for a variety of applications. It is commonly used for presentations, scientific and research conferences, symposiums, special events, directional signage, and other displays. This method is economical and delivers high-quality results for large photographs and posters.

Large-Format Latex Printing

Latex printing employs pigmented, water-based inks using advanced aqueous-dispersed polymer latex technology. This versatile method supports a wide range of applications and materials, including:

  • Wall graphics
  • Floor graphics
  • Indoor and outdoor banners
  • Window clings

Latex printing is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and can print on coated and uncoated materials. While latex ink is naturally water-resistant, an overlaminate is recommended for outdoor or floor applications to enhance durability.

Applications Include:

  • Promotions: Create eye-catching promotional displays on various media.
  • Outdoor Signage: Produce durable banners that withstand outdoor conditions.
  • Decorative Applications: Develop memorable banners and building wraps that remain resilient outdoors.
  • Soft Signage: Expand your signage options with durable textiles for wall, window, and floor graphics.
