ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Large format

Okay kiddo, let me explain what "large format" means. You know when you draw a picture on a little piece of paper, right? Well, sometimes people want to make their pictures or photos even bigger, so they need to use a special kind of paper or printing technique. That's where "large format" comes in!

Large format printing is when you make really big prints of pictures, posters, banners or any other type of graphic design. Instead of using a normal printer that prints on standard-sized paper, large format printing uses special machines that can print on much larger surfaces like walls, billboards, or event backdrops.

Large format printing can be used for many different things, like advertising, art displays, or even movie screens. It's a great way to make sure that people can see your message or image from far away or in a big space.

So, that's what "large format" means in a nutshell. It's all about making sure your pictures and designs get seen, even from far away and on bigger surfaces.
