Large print window mural5/2/2023 There were six different local scenes and if you could tick them all off you could win a free night. The hotel had recently installed large format murals printed onto 2 metre high plastic panels over the baths in its rooms. The mural looks great from the opposite side of the bathroom.Ī recent stay in a hotel in England provided a prime example of a great idea that could have been even better. Part 1 here looks at the issues of image resolution in photographs, while Part 2 looks at “artefacts,” and how to control them. Then tell them how much you’re going to charge to make it better, and hopefully they’ll send you a better image next time. To back this up without going to the expense of printing whole murals to prove your point, use a small desktop printer to output small sections of important details in the image at the same magnification factor, to show what it will look like before and after you’ve applied your magic touch. If there’s no better resolution image available, you should explain that it’s going to look horrible if you print it as-is, but there are some techniques you can use to improve it. In this pair of stories we’ll look at why photographic images may not work at very large sizes, and how to work with photographers and designers to ensure that the images supplied have the best chance of looking good. What to do if an image your customer really wants to use is one you know will look awful at the desired enlargement factor?įirst of all, ask if that is the original image file, and if not could you have it please? That may work as long as there hasn’t been image editing applied to the low res but not the high res. It’s not an issue of large format inkjet printers producing relatively low print resolutions, as most of them are more than good enough for mural work, provided the original image file is fit for the purpose. This means that designers need to pay particular attention to original image resolution, because a picture that looks great on-screen may end up as a jagged mess when blown up to cover a wall. However, unlike the images on billboards and many posters, these graphics are often viewed very close-up, whether by intention or accident. Done properly, they can look stunning as posters, murals and wallpaper. Very large custom printed murals, soft signage lightboxes and wallpaper are increasingly popular applications of large format graphics. ![]() ![]() ![]() What to do if an image your customer really, really wants to use is one you know will look awful at the desired enlargement factor?
