It stood above Times Square in New York City. At 30 by 50 feet, it was the largest picture ever. Printed on Kodak’s Duratrans, this pre-digital backlit display was made by optically projecting an image onto multiple sheets of light- sensitive silver halide material, processing through wet chemicals, then gluing the panels together to make the full-size picture. In 1985, that was pretty cool. Today’s digital printers print on rolls of material, some up to 16 feet wide and hundreds of feet long. Huge displays cover entire buildings and hang from bridges and stadiums. Size no longer is the standard for cool in large-format printing. Obviously, you still need an eye catching image. But on what material will you print it? How will you show it off? Two things define cool in printing today: Materials and displays. Inkjet printing has improved to the point COURTESY ALPHAGRAPHICS ➤ See Printing, 11A Materials on which large-format signs are printed have improved greatly, such as latex for weather-resistant banners and displays.
