    Big Prints!

    What is the largest thing you have ever printed?
    I want to see some real works of art, I don't know about everyone else but it feels like I really have created something great when printing big, even if it is super easy with sublimation. Pictures welcome, I thought I would start with an office display that we recently printed here at Xpres.

    Cheers guys, looking forward to seeing some great pieces of work.

    A company near me has ink jet printers that print the curtain sides for artics - 4m wide? The also print the safety screen mesh material that buildings are wrapped in when you put up scaffolding which I think is 6m wide. Quite an impressive machine and even looks like a giant domestic inkjet printer! They wrapped Harrods a couple of years ago with a mesh printed with a giant photo of - Harrods.

    One minor detail about your example Alastair - is that 12 postcards mounted up or is it 12 A0s?? :o)

    Essentially that's all they are, or maybe that home printers are miniaturised versions of their bigger brothers, where all the R&D money is spent initially, and then trickles down to the small machines.

    The mesh material for building facings is a great example of how personalisation is making its way into mass production, we have come a long way from 'you can have any colour as long as it is black.' I do like the new designs they are placing on building fronts now, I would have liked to have seen the Harrods wrap. In Birmingham they had a big facing on the town hall whilst it was renovated, it looked great! All interesting stuff, thanks Arthur.

    The panels are 1m by 0.7m, the biggest thing I have personally made but I know of bigger!

    You are dead right pisquee.

    We thought metre wide would be big enough for us, but seeing as most fabric rolls are wider than this, I've got itchy feet about wanting to upgrade our wide format sublimation printer and rotary press ... not that we have the budget at the moment! ( I can dream though!)
