| DIGITAL OUTPUT |
|
| What is Digital Output? |
Computer information goes directly to large or grand format
printers that have printheads which output 4/color process.
DPI (dots per inch) can vary widely from 300 DPI to an apparent
1800 DPI which vastly affects the quality of your image. Fortunately
at RichArt we have the latest machines with eight color heads
that produce the finest DPI available today.

Yes. And we can also do any other pre-press you may need
such as design or image manipulation.

| What are your size limitations? |
Our printers are up to 98" wide by any length. Of course
for even larger needs we can tile images.
|
| What materials can you print on? |

brilliance of color and durability of inks even in exposure
