Large format portrait printing in Lusaka — prints above 60×40cm that make a genuine statement on a wall — is a specialised service that requires the right equipment, the right material, and the right quality standard. Not every print shop in Lusaka produces large format portraits at the quality those sizes demand.
The Custom ZM at Chester House, Cairo Road is Lusaka's premium custom printing studio for large format portrait printing. We produce portraits from 70×50cm up to 120×80cm and 100×100cm — built for living room walls, family displays, and significant occasions.
Why Large Format Matters
A 40×30cm portrait is a personal piece — it belongs on a desk or bedside table. An 80×60cm or 100×70cm portrait is a statement — it belongs on a living room wall where everyone who enters the home sees it. The scale changes the impact entirely.
Large format portrait printing requires print quality that holds up at size. An image that looks acceptable at 40×30cm may reveal softness, colour issues, or pixel limitations at 100×70cm. At The Custom ZM, we assess the source photo quality before committing to large format production — we do not produce large prints that disappoint.

What Photos Work Best at Large Format?
Photos taken on modern smartphones (12MP and above) at full resolution work well up to 80×60cm. Photos from professional photographers or DSLRs work well at all sizes. For 100×70cm and above, we recommend professional photographer source files where possible.
Send us the photo at its original, uncompressed resolution. Do not send a screenshot or a social media download — these are compressed and will not hold quality at large sizes. We will advise on what size is achievable from your specific source photo.
