A method of making a filled large-format imprinted structure includes providing a substrate, locating a curable layer over the substrate, imprinting the curable layer, and curing the curable layer to form a cured layer including a layer surface having one or more areas. Each area has a plurality of imprinted micro-cavities, wherein each micro-cavity has a micro-cavity width less than or equal to 20 microns. A rib separates each micro-cavity from an adjacent micro-cavity by a rib width that is less than the micro-cavity width, the rib extending from a bottom of the micro-cavity to the layer surface. A common curable material is located in each micro-cavity and cured to form common cured material in each micro-cavity, thereby defining a filled large-format imprinted structure.
