Printing a large banner

[StickyBoyz]

Good morning,

I have a customer who is interested in getting a couple 8ft x 8ft banners made. I have a Mutoh 1204 which will print roughly 48" wide. For all you banner experts, who would most of you go about making and quoting these out. I would like to do it in house but let me know if there is a place that makes 8ft x 8ft banners or would you print decals and place them on a pre-made banner? The banners will be used for both indoor and outdoor purposes.

Thanks and let me know what you guys are thinking?

merritt here would be a good choice, or you can hem/weld two 48" banners together...

Merritt or Indy Imaging. Both are good choices.

print in 2 pieces and have someone sew it, weld it, or do it yourself with tape...

I find the suggestion of joining 2 pieces together quite amusing.....In my mind (and I am not the client so it might not matter) that will result in less than the best possible job....

It depends on what it is being used for. If it is going to be viewed up close and personal, then yes, you are best to have it done on a grand format printer. Of course, if it isn't and you have access to a banner welder, then print it yourself in multiple pieces and have it welded.
