With Our Printing Process You're in Charge:

Send us your file
We send you a pdf or jpeg proof for layout and content
You approve the proof
If you like, we print a proof for color on the same material as the final product
You approve the proof
You receive your final product

Our printing process doesn't work without you:

  • Send us a file using our uploader, our ftp site, by email (3mb limit) or a disk by mail.
  • Your file is checked for missing elements. We contact you if there are any problems.
  • If everything is okay we create a pdf or jpg proof.
  • Upon approval of the electronic proof  we can print a proof (optional) of the final artwork on the same material used on the final product. This way there will be no surprises on color, content or the look of the final piece.
  • You approve this proof.
  • We print the final graphic.

You are in charge at each step of the way.

How Large Can My Graphics or Banners be?

BT&D can print large format digital graphics (vinyl banners, trade show booth graphics, display graphics and signage) up to 60" wide by whatever length (up to 600'). Any image exceeding the 60" width is printed in sections and seamed together. While our equipment is capable of output up to 60" widths, not all materials are available in this width.  Please call us for complete details at 847-428-5990.
 

How Long Will it Take to Get My Graphic(s)?

Our normal turnaround time is 48 hours in-house from final artwork approval.  We have been known to turn jobs around in as little as four hours.  Large quantities may require a longer turnaround.  Rush jobs can incur additional fees.  If you are concerned about turnaround times for your next project, please contact us.
 

What Quantity of Large Format Digital Prints can You Print?

Our large format digital printing process is geared towards short runs (1-400+) of large, colorful, complex photo realistic graphics. But we have done quantities over 500.
 

What is the Process for Getting My Printed Graphics?

  • Send us  your files (see below for how to send files to us)
  • We check them to make sure nothing is missing, such as fonts and linked images. 
  • We send a PDF or JPEG electronic proof. There is no charge for this.
  • Optional: An 8.5" x 11" proof printed on the same material as your final graphic. There is a nominal $30.00 fee for a printed proof.

 

Will Your Print Colors Match the Colors on My Desktop Printer or Monitor?

Not necessarily. Differing inks and medias can affect color. Please see our color management page.
 

What kinds of files do you accept?

We accept files from all the programs listed on this page plus .TIF, .EPS, .PDF.  Please review our File Preparation Checklist on how to set up your files for large format printing.

  • Send a DVD, CD, Jaz, Zip 100 and Zip 250
  • Use our ftp site at: ftp://btdgraphics.com

When a Proof is Not Really a Proof

No Surprises!

Unlike many large format printers, when you order a printed proof from us, you get a proof printed on the same material as your final graphic. Not a piece of paper printed to simulate the final print. 

If you order a vinyl banner proof, your get a proof on vinyl. If you order a trade show graphic proof, you get a proof on trade show graphic material. If your final graphic is laminated, your proof is laminated.

This way you will see your colors as they will be on final piece - No surprises!
