How long does it take?

The size and quantity determines how long it takes. Big print Birmingham’s large format press is a standard press designed to capture the maximum amount of detail possible.

Inks can increase the length of time of a print job significantly because the ink requires a minimum of 12 hours to harden. An average job should be finished between 2 to 3 days.
