Formatting

What Resolution Should I use?
It’s all relative. The more you are enlarging an image, the more resolution is required. Simply figure the percentage of enlargement and multiply by “.75”. This will give you the necessary ppi with which to scan. For example, a 4″x6″ image enlarging to 24″x36″ is an enlargement of 600%. (600 x .75 = 450ppi).

Outdoor & Vehicle Graphics

How large can you print? 
We have the ability to tile and section graphics so there is no official limit on size. Wall mural and billboards are installed in sections to create a smooth composed view from a short distance. Vehicles are typically wrapped section by section for a near seamless appearance.
