How does wide-format printing work?
A wide-format printer works just like a standard printer, only larger.
- The printer receives the job from a computer after you approve the design.
- The substrate, typically paper or label sheeting, comes off the roll slowly while laser printers produce beautiful colors.
- One of our technicians examines the print as it comes out of the machine to make sure the quality is where it should be.
- We lay the finished print on a flat surface to prevent wrinkles or damage before packaging.
