English term or phrase: Wide format

Apparently related to printing of posters and banners etc.
Is there a German term or has the English one been adopted, as is so often the case?

Grading comment

Trotz der fachlich qualifizierten Kommentare halte ich diesen Ausdruck für den besten, da die eigene Werbung von Xerox ihn bestätigt.
Es geht wohl mehr um die Größe als das Format an sich, d.h. neue, breitere Drucker.

Nachtrag: Deutschland ist das Erfinderland der Druckerkunst. Das braucht keine Anglizismen, es gibt sprichwörtlich jeden technischen Begriff auf Deutsch.

Rolf Kern: Ich vermute, "wide format" sei breiter als "landscape".

5 hrs

-> Seufz. Es ist immer noch ein Querformat. Bitte bei großen Druckmaschinen nicht immer in den Parametern von kleinen Tischdruckern denken, insbesondere wenn bereits Banner-Formate erwähnt wurden. Ich bin übrigens ursprünglich Designer von Beruf.

Marianne Hartz-Poseck: Querformat kenne ich als 'landscape' und Hochformat als 'portrait'

wide format Breitbildformat

Explanation:
Bitte MEHR Kontext! Ich schlage diesen Begriff deshalb vor, weil im Druck die Begriffe portrait (size) für Hochformat und landscape (size) für Querformat üblich sind. 'Wide' wird eher im Sinne von 16:9 und breitere Formate im Vergleich zu 4:3, bei Fotos z. B. nicht 10x15 (egal ob hoch oder quer), sondern 10x18 (egal ob hoch oder quer).
