For wide-format print shops
Wide-format print software, built for how you actually work
Wide-format work — also called large format or display printing: banners, posters, trade-show displays, window graphics, backlit — is priced by area and produced in batches. PrinterFlo gives large-format, wide-format and display printing shops fast area-based quoting, a production board that tracks each job from design to finishing, and modern customer approvals.

Drag a job to move it. The floor sees the same board you do, and the customer never has to log in to approve anything.
What wide-format print shops struggle with
- •Per-square-foot pricing that has to account for material + finishing.
- •Keeping big-format jobs moving through print → laminate → cut → finish.
- •Media changeovers eating the day because jobs run in arrival order instead of by roll.
- •Old MIS tools that feel built for offset, not large-format.
How PrinterFlo helps
- →Area-based quoting with materials and input costs baked in.
- →A visual board to move jobs through every finishing stage.
- →Batch by material — see every job waiting on the same media and run them on one roll.
- →Emailed proofs so clients approve before you burn media.
Priced by area, like the work actually is
A wide-format quote is size times material times finishing — banner at one rate, laminated window graphics at another, hems and grommets on top. PrinterFlo's pricing engine works exactly that way: enter the size, pick the media and finishing, and the quote shows cost, profit and margin per line as you build it. No spreadsheet on the side, no mental math on the phone.
Batching is where the margin hides
The expensive minutes in a large-format shop are changeovers — unloading one media to run one job, then loading it again on Thursday. PrinterFlo's board filters by material, so you can see every open job waiting on the same roll and run them together. For display printing work with mixed substrates and mounting, each job's finishing steps ride on the same card, so nothing ships un-laminated because the note was on a different piece of paper.
For display and trade-show work specifically
Display printing lives on deadlines that don't move — the show opens whether the backdrop shipped or not. The board carries due dates on every card with the schedule-health colour on the rail, proofs go out for written approval before media gets burned, and deposits are taken against the job. When the client swaps the artwork on Tuesday, the change is on the record, not in a thread.
Wide-format print software — FAQ
Is PrinterFlo good for a wide-format shop?
Yes — PrinterFlo prices by area, handles substrates and finishing costs, and gives you a production board tuned for how large-format work actually flows, without the cost of a full commercial-print MIS.
What software do display printing companies use?
Display and trade-show printers use shop-management software for area-based quoting, proof approvals and production tracking. Larger operations run commercial MIS suites; most shops need something lighter — PrinterFlo covers quoting, approvals, the board and payments at a fraction of an MIS implementation.
Does it work with my RIP?
PrinterFlo is RIP-agnostic. It manages the business side — quotes, approvals, production stages, invoicing — regardless of what drives your printers.
