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. Some products require longer turnaround times. These are listed on the product page. 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.
I have a logo I got off our website. Will that work?
No. Images off the web are low res 72 dpi. They will not scale well. We require images to be 120 dpi at size used on the final print.
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
