Posters, Banners and Signage

When you need an oversized graphic for signage, presentations, trade shows, storefronts, special events – and so on – you’re moving into wide/large-format printing.

Think posters, banners, POP (Point-Of-Purchase) displays, way-finding signage, wall art, etc. Wide/Large-format printing is one of the few graphics specialties that are not easily (or definitively) defined, because the technology keeps improving and more and more presses are introduced to the market.

A wide/large-format inkjet printer typically prints on large sheets or rolls of material/substrates. In our definition, the final product is often larger than 13”x19”, and up to 63” wide, though there are exceptions (stickers, magnets, etc). Some of these products may require Trademark approval, if ISU brand elements are used. See Internal Trademark Use for more information.
