Exhibit graphics is both a production specialty and a brand-accuracy problem. A beautifully designed booth can be undermined by graphics that print off-color, show visible seams, or arrive at install with damaged edges.
We run large-format printing in-house alongside fabrication. Same building, same calibration, same color-matched output, same-day reprint capability.
This service covers the substrates we specify, our color accuracy process, how graphics timing fits into the production schedule, and how graphics travel across a multi-show calendar.

In-house production vs. third-party print
Booth graphics can be produced by a separate print vendor or in-house alongside the build. The quality difference is real. In-house production means graphics are printed against the exact dimensions of the fabricated panels, dry-fitted before they ship, and reprinted same-day if anything is off.
Our print room is calibrated weekly and re-calibrated before any hero-panel run.
Substrate choice per panel
Different panels want different substrates. A 20-foot backwall in soft fabric reads as clean and packs flat. A rigid Sintra or aluminum composite is better for counters and demo walls. Backlit fabric for illuminated hero walls. Dye-sub on aluminum or polycarbonate for modular graphics that need to survive multiple install cycles.
We specify substrate per panel based on actual use case.
Color accuracy is a process
Brand color accuracy is the most common graphics complaint. The reason is usually that the print room wasn't calibrated to the brand's specific targets, or that the proof was approved under different lighting than the final output.
We calibrate to the client's brand palette at project kickoff: actual Pantone references, printed proofs under booth-lighting conditions.
Exhibit Graphics and Large-Format Printing frequently asked questions
What substrate is best for a Tampa booth backwall?
For most 20-foot backwalls, tension fabric with a SEG finish — clean appearance, packs flat, reships well.
How long does large-format printing take?
2 to 3 weeks of production after artwork lock for a standard custom booth.
Do you work with our existing design files?
Yes. We work from native design files or print-ready PDFs.
What if our booth was designed by another vendor?
We need the panel dimensions, substrate spec, and artwork files.
How do you handle brand color accuracy?
Pantone references calibrated at project kickoff, on-substrate proofs for hero panels, and printed color reviews under booth-lighting conditions.
Can graphics survive multiple installs?
Yes, when specified and handled correctly. Dye-sub on aluminum survives indefinitely. Tension fabric with quality SEG handles 3 to 5 install cycles.
