WIDE FORMAT PRINTING
We generally encourage clients to have sample proofs of their work printed before we reproduce their
final documents at full size. Typical turn-around time for 11x17 sample proofs is 2-3 hours. Large format
prints at the regular rates require 48 hours (not including weekends/holidays). The cost for a sample
proof is 10 dollars ($10.00) , and it will typically be printed on the same medium as the final document.
We have three different grades of paper mediums to choose from:
1) Presentation Paper (Pros: inexpensive 36 lb bond, matte finish, light weight, color stable for 5-6
months. Cons: less than ideal for photographic content) Cost: $12/linear ft
2) Satin Photo Quality Paper (Pros: affordable, semi-gloss, durable, good for photos. Cons: colors start to
fade in ~4 months) Cost: 36” Satin - $18/lin. Ft; 42” satin - $22/lin. ft
3) Poly Film (Pros: glossy, excellent for photo images, light weight, color do not fade. Cons: a bit more
costly) Cost: 36” Poly Film - $22/linear ft ; 42” Poly Film - $28/lin.ft.
Our Satin and Poly Film papers are available in 36” and 42" wide rolls.
Presentation paper is only available in a 36” width.
