What Sizes Can You Print with a Wide Format Printer?

When it comes to bringing bold, eye-catching designs to life, wide-format printers are every graphic designer’s best friend. Whether you’re printing posters, banners, signage, or architectural plans, these machines give you the flexibility to produce large, high-quality prints with stunning clarity. But what sizes can you actually print with a wide-format printer? Let’s find out.

Understanding Wide Format Printing

Wide format printing, sometimes called large format printing, refers to any print larger than the standard A3 size (297mm x 420mm). These printers are specifically designed to handle oversized media, making them perfect for everything from event graphics and retail displays to CAD drawings and fine art reproductions.

Common Wide Format Print Sizes

The exact sizes you can print depend on your specific printer model, but most wide-format printers handle widths from 24 inches (610mm) up to 60 inches (1524mm), and in some cases even wider.

Here’s a quick guide to standard print sizes you can achieve:

• A2 (420mm x 594mm) – Ideal for posters and presentation materials
• A1 (594mm x 841mm) – Great for display graphics and architectural plans
• A0 (841mm x 1189mm) – Perfect for high-impact posters and promotional signage
• B-Series Sizes (B1, B0, etc.) – Common in the print and advertising industry for flexible banner production
• Custom Rolls – Many printers use roll-fed media, allowing you to print virtually any length, which is perfect for banners, exhibition panels, and murals.

Why Print Big?

With a wide-format printer, you can scale your creativity without limits. From vibrant full-colour graphics to detailed technical illustrations, these printers maintain sharp resolution and consistent colour accuracy, regardless of size. Plus, with a variety of materials such as vinyl, canvas, paper, and fabric, the possibilities are endless.

Choosing the Right Wide Format Printer

When selecting a wide-format printer, consider:

• Maximum media width (for example, 24", 36", 44", or 60")
• Ink type (dye, pigment, eco-solvent, or UV)
• Media compatibility for your preferred substrates
