Ultra wide format printing

Post by frameet »

Hi

I have to print a canvas giclee 215x215 cm can anybody recommend a supplier for this job?

Obviously the size is rather large and this rules out most standard printer!

Any tips greatly received!

Cheers

I don't think you would be able to class it as a giclee the widest pigment ink printer is 64 inch

The last time a customer that asked for one over whst we could do I suggested printing and stretching it in 3 sections, it looked really good and the customer was very impressed with it.

I have used display companies in the past for that sort of thing unfortunately they tend not to use decent canvas but a synthetic banner material which is carp. Some do now offer canvas but it still isn't the standard of fine art canvas.
