Printing Information

Please note that although our machines can print up to eight feet long (96″), prints may wrinkle or crease if longer than six feet (72″). If ordering a long print, consider breaking it into separate files in order to increase quality. Please also note that heavy black backgrounds increase the chance of wrinkling or smearing if printed on laser, so plan prints accordingly.
