Frequently asked questions:
Large format print brings a world of possibility, but it works quite differently to other print work.

To help you understand some of the features and complexities of large format print we’ve compiled a list of some of our most frequently asked questions. Of course if you have any of your own questions then just give us a quick buzz on 01242 528868 or email info@biggerprinting.co.uk

Can you do bespoke displays, or are they all off-the-shelf?
We have plenty of low cost, ‘off-the-shelf’ displays that suit smaller budgets, but we also offer a bespoke print service. Our extraordinary cutting capabilities allow us to cut to any shape or size and on a wide range of materials, so you’re never limited to standard formats. PVC, vinyl, dibond... you name it, we can use it.

Can I use large format displays indoors and outdoors without worrying about image fading or weather damage?
We use UV inks in our posters to prevent fading both indoor and out. And we complete our outdoor posters with a water resistant finish so they continue to look fabulous, come rain or shine. Our banners and displays are made from robust PVC and vinyl that withstand even the harshest weather conditions.

Can you create graffiti-resistant outdoor display panels?
We coat our outdoor display boards in a wipe-clean laminate, so whether mud splashes or graffiti, you can restore them to their former glory in record time.
What can I do to ensure that my images are suited to large format?
Print is only ever as good as the design it’s come from, and this is never truer than for large format print. So always use professional design and photography where you can. If taking your own photographs, put your camera on the highest quality setting to get the best result. If in doubt, source photos from professional photography sites like Shutterstock.com and istockphoto.com, where stunning photos are available at a low cost.
Can you create a big impact exhibition display on a limited budget?
There are many high impact large format displays that don’t require big budgets. For example, our pop-up twist banners allow you to create versatile displays that can be used in any stand space. As an alternative, apply repositionable digital wallpaper to a shell scheme stand to create a stunning backdrop. Repositionable digital wallpaper can be applied anywhere and re-used as often as you need it. Just peel and stick...
Top Tip
Keep your design simple. Large format displays have the best impact if you don’t try and cram as much text as possible into the design.
