Extra Large Format Prints For Photography, Art & Graphics
We deliver stunning, top-quality prints on a variety of materials supporting different graphic types in up to 10’ wide segments and as long as you need it!
The preferred file type is an uncompressed. TIF for ANY of our prints, but especially important for giant-sized photos and graphics. It needs to be flattened (no layers) with a minimum resolution of 150DPI at full output/print size, 300DPI if possible. 8bit, with Adobe RGB98 as the color profile. (NO Gray scales) – However, JPG and sRGB are also acceptable.
Choose Your Material
Depending on your application the material you choose to make your massive masterpiece will vary. The biggest factor in choosing the material is whether it will be indoor or outdoor, with canvas and wallpapers being popular for indoor applications and adhesive vinyl and banners work best for outdoor use. Materials to choose from include:
Adhesive Vinyl
Canvas
Fabrics
Traditional Wallpaper
Exterior Banner Materials
Trade Show Backdrops
Regardless of the material, the vibrancy and durability of latex-based inks are far superior to eco-solvent and UV-cured inks that are used for the largest applications. Latex-based inks also stay flexible to resist cracking and fading.
Choose Your Size
With segments up to 10′ wide and 150′ long, we can print graphics at any size and scale, however, the material you’ve chosen may impact your size considerations. If you’re unsure of the right size/material, our staff is experienced in consulting with customers to help them learn which would be preferred for their application.

The most common ratio in size for the art to take up is between 25% to 50% of the available wall space, however, there are no strict rules so you can print as big or small as you want. When you’re trying to decide how big you want your print, keep in mind interior design principles and how well a photo will look when it’s enlarged.
Interior Designers Best Practices With Extra-Large Format Prints
Balance Proportion Of Art & Space
You want your art to fill the space and be noticed but you don’t want to overwhelm the wall (unless that’s the look you’re going for) so find the correct balance between available wall space and your art print. A common interior design guideline is to balance the blank space with art by leaving about 50% to 75% of the wall as blank space and using the remaining 25% to 50% for the art.
Visual Impact
How much of a visual impact do you want your art to have? The larger the print the more of a focal point it will be for the room whereas average size or small prints better blend into the wall and the surroundings together becoming part of the decor without dominating it.
Furniture Considerations For Prints
Every room has furniture in it and the larger the art piece the better it should blend in with the decor and not feel disconnected from the design. Keep in mind you’ll also want some space between the prints and the furniture in the room so if you want an extra-large print, make sure it matches the furniture and doesn’t butt up against it.
Wall Shape
Consider the shape of the wall when figuring out the print size. For tall, narrow walls, you may want to use vertically oriented art to fill the space appropriately. Similarly, for wide, horizontal walls, horizontally oriented art can work well.
How Does The Image File Impact The Size Of the Art Print?
Image Resolution
Image resolution refers to the amount of detail (data) an image holds, typically measured in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI). Higher-resolution images have more pixels and can be enlarged without losing as much detail. For high-quality print, a resolution of 300 DPI is often recommended, but the specific DPI requirement may vary depending on the type of print and viewing distance.
Image Format
Image formats like JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and RAW have different characteristics. While JPEG is a compressed format that can lead to some loss of quality, TIFF and RAW formats are uncompressed and offer higher image quality. PNG is lossless but may have larger file sizes. For extra-large prints, we suggest using TIFF, RAW, or PNG. JPEGs can work but the more they are compressed to save data space, the worse the quality of the image is when it’s enlarged.
Image Content
The more complex or detailed an image is the harder it may be to enlarge. Photographs with lots of fine textures or subtle gradients can be challenging to enlarge without losing all that detail.
Printer Quality
High-end commercial-grade printers are the best at printing extra-large format files. They allow for the use of better quality paper and have more advanced inks and cutting-edge technology that helps capture the grandeur of a large print.
How To Determine The Right Size
So you have this amazing image and you want to cover your walls with it. But how can you determine how big can you really print? At ArtisanHD, we make it easy. Check out our handy print sizing guide to get an idea of how your photo or artwork will look on your wall in your extra-large size. Below are some common print sizes, but you can make the size completely custom in our Configurator. It will also tell you if your file size is large enough to print big while maintaining a sharp, vibrant resolution.
Print big!
I would like you to enlarge my photo to cover a large wall area the length of my sofa. Will resolution be lost with such a large canvas reprint using your digital art technology?ArtisanHD2017-11-07T05:44:39-07:00
With the flexibility our digital art technology provides, we can enlarge a photo to print on canvas to fit over a large area without any loss of resolution. If we find that the photo you upload will not produce the finest results, we will contact you.
We know you will be amazed at what a difference our high definition technology makes! The clarity, the colors, and the resolution are stunning.
Other digital printing companies that offer cheap canvas reprints or prices at a discount do not have the digital art technology or the capacity to create reproductions in high definition. That is why ArtisanHD stands far above the rest!
What Defines A Custom Print As Large Format?ArtisanHD2023-09-22T10:47:42-07:00
Large format prints are reprints of digital photographs, graphics, or art produced on specially designed wide-format printers. Most printers consider anything over thirty-six inches as a “large format.”
What Art Mediums Are Best For Large Prints?
Advanced large format printers can print on a variety of mediums including:
Canvas
Acrylic
Photo paper
Vinyl
Metal
The best for a given application depends on your budget, intended use, and personal taste. All of these mediums offer different advantages and aesthetics and will work great in most applications so it’s difficult to to say one is definitively better than the others.
Canvas and metal are the premium options with canvas being the preferred option for the home, whereas metal is used in public spaces. Acrylic, photo paper, and vinyl are more affordable options and can be used for similar applications. Acrylic, vinyl, and metal are considered more durable but for most applications, outside of heavily publically trafficked areas, all of these mediums are a durable option.
What Types Of Printers Are Used To Make Very Large Prints?
The best large format printing is done using cutting-edge inkjet printers. These printers not only accommodate larger sizes but also use advanced inks to render detailed and exact replicas of the original. The inks are specially formulated to provide the perfect color, the right amount of luster, fade resistance, and scratch resistance.
What Are The Most Common Large Format Print Applications?
You can order extra large format prints online for several residential or commercial applications. At ArtisanHD you can order prints anywhere from thirty-six inches in width to over one hundred inches in length. The most common applications include:
Posters
Vinyl Banners
Murals
Wallpaper
Signage
Billboards
Wall Hangings
Window Art
How does high definition translate into a large format HD print?ArtisanHD2017-10-20T11:51:45-07:00
In the world of digital photography and printing, resolution determines quality. In digital photography, itty-bitty squares called pixels make up the photo image we see. The more pixels a camera has, the more image information it can receive. Therefore, higher numbered pixel cameras produce higher resolution photographs… leading to a clear, crisp HD print.
From HD Camera to HD Print
Photographs with higher resolution can more easily be reprinted into large format high definition prints. That’s why we include a scanning service as part of what we offer. When you order custom HD prints online, our scanners turn your photos into high-resolution images.
Our printing company is able to produce customized large format prints in HD because of our printers’ capacities. Whereas cameras and images are made up of pixels, the printer creates high definition canvas prints (also high definition plexi and acrylic prints) on three different machines using a measurement called DPI (dots per inch). The higher the DPI, the higher is the definition of the reprint.
Our printers boast the highest DPI available. In plain language, that means the high definition giclée prints, wall murals, and the custom HD prints online that you order from us are crystal clear in their color and incredibly sharp in their appearance. When you take advantage of our printing service, you feel you are living in the moment of the photo. It’s an extraordinary experience!
Can ArtisanHD print vinyl banners and signage?ArtisanHD2017-10-20T11:57:43-07:00
ArtisanHD offers custom, large format vinyl banners and signage. These can be for indoor or outdoor use, depending on your needs. We typically use a solid vinyl material with an interwoven core. This material is waterproof and fade resistant, and is very strong and durable.
Our print customers have several finishing options. Grommets, hemming, pole pockets, and sewn edges are all available options. We can also print to a self-adhesive vinyl that can be used as a vehicle wrap, or a wall mural installation.
Although vinyl banners have long been used for commercial purposes, they can also be used in your home or office.
Some great ways to use full color vinyl banners are:

Aspect Ratio Note: We want to ensure your experience is seamless and transparent. Please be aware that our Price Calculator provides you with estimated costs based on the width and height you enter here. The actual print size may vary due to the aspect ratio of the image you upload.
Understanding Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image's width and height. Think of it as the "shape" of your image. For instance, a common aspect ratio for HD content is 16:9, meaning the width is 16 units for every 9 units of height.
Quality Matters: Rest assured, we make adjustments to your image according to the aspect ratio to ensure a high-quality print. These adjustments are made with precision and care to deliver the best possible result.
A Minor Difference: Any variation in print size due to aspect ratio is typically small and should not lead to confusion or frustration. We want you to have a great quality print that matches your expectations.

As the owner of a small startup company, I looked around The Valley and online for professional high quality printed products. Other solutions always seemed to come with a tradeoff: poor customer service, product size constraints, high pricing and volume, or even bad finish quality.
Working with Mike and his team I was able to produce the high quality unique products at competitive prices that I was looking for without compromise. Their knowledgeable customer service was phenomenal! We were even able to find solutions to some of the more complex printing and finishing requirements I needed. I’ll definitely be working with them again on future projects!
I recently sold one of my Digital Art pieces and the team at ArtisanHD have the complete package really sorted out! They are a friendly, client orientated and totally professional team who happen to produce spectacular prints as well! Thanks guys for keeping everyone very happy!

Beautiful print work and customer service of the highest order – you'll be so thrilled with how well you're treated, and how they'll go the extra mile to make sure you're happy and satisfied with the final result.

It's rare I find a company today where the customer service, quality and pricing meet most every need I'm looking for. It's even rarer to find those companies where the staff are not only willing to meet those expectations, but surpass them.
In a very stressful situation I created for myself, the staff at Artisan went out of their way to help me find a answer to my predicament. Their team worked with me to find a fast solution pulling me out of a situation I knew very few companies would go out of their way to solve. It's those actions I use to choose who I will send my next job. The service was awesome! The quality was awesome! Their staff was Awesome!

When I inadvertently shipped a limited edition print to a customer before signing it, Artisan was quick to have it rerouted back to their facility to resolve my issue. When I then showed up during the holiday season –– right before New Year's Eve –– I was met by no less than the company's president, Doug Bondon, who was genuinely happy to assist me and get my order on its way in a matter of minutes. Folks, this is what topnotch, white glove service really looks like. Outstanding!
