A few
important things to consider when choosing a wide format printer, copier or scanner. They are; whether to buy new or
used, the purpose and amount of use the equipment will have, how will the
increased capacity of such machines can affect your business and how long it
will take to recoup the expense. On the
expense issues alone, there are big positives to encourage a business to make
this purchase.
If you are choosing a
wide format printer, copier or scanner that is used and re-formatted you can
realize savings on the initial investment of about fifty percent over new
costs. Prices vary from around $600 to
$1000 on the low end to above $12,000 for refurbished printers, plotters,
scanners and copiers in wide format configuration. Used and re-formatted machines should come
with their own warranty and technical support. Purchase only from a reputable
company that stands behind their products 100%.
When using
wide format machinery you will be able to produce different types of materials
without the need for joining parts together on the finished product. This can be a major plus for looks alone and
durability. You can easily produce
larger posters, banners, window cling signs and other retail signage. This can
be a real benefit to high volume businesses like advertising agencies, print
shops and retail stores. For these
businesses it makes sense to purchase a wide format printer, copier or scanner
because of the savings realized quickly due to the volume of items needed.
Obtaining
good equipment is a great selling tool for any business that produces signage
and reproductions. Output can be made
right in-house with less expense than if it were necessary to send jobs out to
other sources for wide machine production.
Wide format is good when you are working with CAD and blueprints, large
photographs or drawings or any other artwork that is best handled at one
time. With large format machinery you
can copy, scan and print large artwork and designs without having to piece
together the finished products. Wide
format printers are valuable and save time and money because you can print in
one large piece.
Paper sizes
from 24" to 42" widths are accommodated by various large format
printers. High speed output is accomplished with fast drying ink jet printing
and using convenient roll paper. Fast
speed at high resolution means you are able to reproduce high quality line drawings, renderings or
photographs. This is good especially for map making and other geographic
renditions in monochrome or full color.
This is also great for archive storage of documents and records.
How you use
the wide format machinery is open to imagination. Posters, artwork and photographs in large
sizes can be run quickly and cost effectively on wide format printers. You can run large jobs or mixed jobs together
and obtain large quantities faster than with smaller machines. Text books, manuals and descriptive booklets
with photos are good candidates for large format printers, copiers and scanners. If you need volume, consider purchasing this
type of equipment for your business.
