Large format solutions
Large Format includes the sourcing, design, preparation and production of images requiring printing at larger than A0 size (841 x 1188mm), onto any substrate. Materials include paper, vinyl, canvas, sheet plastics, glass, aluminium, and even wood.
Sizes under A0 can also be produced of course, but ‘large format’ usually relates to feature artworks, exhibition or conference graphics, installations, banners, backdrops, props or artwork designed to cover large surfaces in reception areas, entertainment spaces, foyers or people’s homes.
How large can my image print?
This is a common question, and it’s not always straightforwards. The inherent resolution and pixel dimensions of an image do not always equate to its quality. Many ‘high resolution’ images available online have a huge number of pixels, but the image itself may not be sharp, and could have already been crudely resized to appear bigger than it originally was.
Correctly analysing image quality, then optimising it for print, is a real speciality of Sizewsie Studio. AI image resizing software is useful if used sensibly, but there are other tricks that can be employed, depending on the original source image.
The backlit glass map image below fits a 2.7m high alcove in a City of London office.
Retouching was required to fit the image to the alcove space, followed by a unique upscaling procedure to produce the detail at final size.

Sizewise Studio guarantees to optimise your chosen image for large format print, to an unbeatable level.
Everyone loves seeing beautiful images covering large spaces, and today it’s possible to produce high quality print onto almost any substrate you can think of.
Image resolution is nothing without image quality, and although the two attributes overlap, they are separate entities. Optimising both is critical to the end result.
Case study
Backlit gym wall
Working with Spanlite, the task was to take an image of Muhammed Ali that was only A4 size at 300dpi, and produce artwork capable of covering a 4.8m x 2.8m wall. The wall in question was in a home gym, and it had to look great, even from close up. The client wanted the very best possible result, and AI resizing software was not deemed suitable for this project.
Increasing the size of the image wasn’t viable, as the resulting image would be blurred and pixelated, even with AI tools. This was obviously not acceptable to the client, who would be working out in the gym, close to the image. Furthermore the glass wall was to be backlit with LED light-sheet, making it a stunning feature in itself. It had to work on both levels.
The solution was to create a vector halftone of the image. When viewed from more than a few feet away it looks like the original photo, and up close you get none of the pixelation and image degradation that would normally occur when resizing an image this much.
The half-tone effect also echoes the style of newsprint, recreating how the original image would have been seen in newspapers of the day. The result is a totally unique and mesmerising backlit feature wall, comprising four panels of backlit image glass.
