Full Color Banner Printing

We feature full color banner printing and more!

Most all of the banners that we produce are printed in digitally printed in full color. Printing banners in full color, utilizing a CMYK color format, produces rich and vibrant images for a variety of different styles of banners (standard printed banners, extra-large banners, mesh banners, poster paper prints, and more.) Full color banner printing is the industry standard for most large format printing companies and is the preferred method of printing for most all of our banner printing services.

Let's explain a little bit about the CMYK color format. This is a full color process that blends together a variety of color combinations comprised of the four basic colors of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The allotted colors are assigned a percentage from 0 to 100% thus creating hundreds and thousands of color combinations. This color mode literally gives you the ability to digitally print banners that can showcase all the colors of the rainbow and then some. 

Printing in full color requires art files that have been formatted properly. A lot of people create their artwork in the RGB color mode, which is great for on screen computer viewing, but not ideal for full color printing. The RGB color mode utilizes percentages of the three primary colors Red, Green and Blue. To print an RGB art file in full color, it will first need to be converted to CMYK. Converting CMYK files to RGB can cause a color shift, sometimes a very drastic one, which can alter the original integral coloring of an art file.

And for those whose banner needs to require specific colors when producing a full color banner print, you'll need to supply your chosen sign company with a Pantone (PMS) color call-out. The Pantone matching system allows print companies and sign shops to dial in a specific color that has a universal color make-up. The Pantone color match was created to be able to achieve the same color across the board, ensuring that all print methods produce the same exact color every time.
