Barcelona, capital of large format printing
Barcelona is a top-level visual production hub in Europe. The combination of a powerful graphics industry, the celebration of international fairs (MWC, ISE, Alimentaria, Hostelco) and a booming tourism and retail sector generate a constant demand for large format digital printing.
The city has specialized companies with cutting-edge technology: UV, latex and eco-solvent printers that allow printing on practically any material with photographic quality.

How to choose a large format printing provider in Barcelona
Barcelona has many printing providers, but the quality varies greatly. Keys to choosing well:
• Own technology: Make sure that the supplier has its own printers and does not outsource production.
• Variety of materials: A good supplier works with multiple substrates and can advise you on the ideal material for each application.
• Color Proofs: For demanding projects, order a color proof before the full run.
• Finishing service: Cutting, buttonholes, bags, laminating and assembly are an essential part of the service.
• Logistics: Value suppliers that offer delivery and installation, not just production.
