The quality remains high and you have updated your banner stand to meet your needs!

How big of a banner can you print?
We have in-house capabilities, with the latest in print technology, to print up to 72" wide in one panel. This means we can print up to six feet wide with no seam and as long as you want.
We can produce larger banners as well. We can print up to 72" wide in one panel and we can connect more panels to create larger banners. In doing this, there is a seam where each panel would connect. To see a banner that is 8'wide and has a seam to connect the 2 prints, check out our portfolio under banners and look for the white banner with the silhouette of a band!

How long do banners last outside?
It depends on the conditions they are in. If you leave them outside for 6 straight months, you will likely get a couple of years out of them. If you take them to a game and roll them up afterwords, they will last a lot longer.

What are floor graphics?
Floor graphics are printed on a material meant to adhere to floor materials (concrete, carpet, tile, etc.) and laminated with a slip-resistant laminate to protect the ink and help avoid slipping. They can be used inside or outdoors, depending on the materials.
What else can you wrap besides a car?
Just about anything that doesn't wrap us first. Seriously, we've wrapped elevators, ice boxes outside of a convenience store, boats, etc. If you have something unusual in mind, give us a call.
We recently wrapped some mini fridges and have some images of those in our portfolio!
What is a substrate?
Substrates consist of foam-cor, gatorboard, MDO board, plexi-glass, alumacor, polystyrene, PVC, etc. Your adhesive backed graphics are mounted to these types of materials to add strength and rigidity.
What is laminate?
Laminate is applied on top of media, and in many cases helps further protect the graphic from abuse. We use a cold lamination process and have a multitude of laminates, ranging from matte to high gloss, that can be used depending on the use and application of the project.
Laminating your prints protects the graphics from abrasion, moisture, and UV rays. If your graphics will be used outdoors and/or for longer periods of time, it is recommended that you laminate your print.
What is Media?
Media is the material that your graphic is printed on. We print on many different types of media including banner material, adhesive backed vinyl, fabrics, backlit material, and many others. If you want to know if we can print on the media you are interested in then give us a call today at 615.445.3688.
What is the highest resolution you can print?
1440 x 1440. That's about 2 million dots per square inch.
What is wide format printing?
We start where print shops leave off. Although we have the ability to print the smaller sized graphic requests, we specialize in producing large graphics including vehicle wraps, trade show displays and exhibits, full color outdoor banners, and much more.
What is your typical turnaround time?
Typical turnaround time on a standard project is 24-48 hours. Projects of higher quantity or are more labor intensive require an estimated time of completion from Speedpro.
What kind of banner material do you use?
We generally use a 13oz scrim banner that is great for standing up to the elements outdoors. However, we can also print on many other different kinds of banner like ultra smooth, block-out, and glossy banner. And we are always happy to research materials to meet your exact needs.
What kind of files do you need to print?
Images with 300dpi or most are preferred to. Preferred file types include: .eps, .tif, .pdf, .psd, or .jpeg.
It is also preferred to have the fonts outlined to ensure that the produced piece has the font you would like.
Why do you use eco-solvent inks?
Solvent based inks are aggressive and impregnate themselves into the media. This ensures a high quality, longer lasting print, with the most vibrant colors possible.
Why should I care that you print in 6 colors?
Using 6 colors allows us to print the most accurate colors possible; we can hit 93% of the color spectrum and match PMS colors. Printing with 6 colors as opposed to 4 (CMKY) produces a richer color when printing which also adds to the quality of the graphics.
