If you are shopping for large format printers, it’s important to take a look at several models and do some comparisons. However, before you make a final decision, you should check out several important factors. Here are some helpful tips for choosing the best printer for your business.
Color
Do you want something that can print color, or is black and white sufficient? For example, do you plan to print out presentations, banners, posters, drawings, or photographs? If so, then you should buy a color printer. However, there are some reasons to consider black and white.
If your prints are going to be outdoors, they can easily get wet and black and white print is more waterproof than color. Also, if you need to print out a lot of copies at one time, black and white are faster. So, what’s the best choice? You should think about getting a color printer, and you can print in black and white when you need to. This gives you the most options for large format printers.
Speed
Generally, the larger the machine’s memory, the faster it can print. Printing speed is important, but you may not need as much speed as you think. For example, if you are deciding between a printer that can give you 5 or 8 pages per minute, there may not be that much difference. If the cost is less for the 5 pages per minute printer, then it’s probably the best buy.
Print Quality
Some people naturally assume that higher dpi (dots per inch) will give you better quality. However, this is not always the case with large format printers. The image processor is the most important feature, so it’s best to get a demo or view images that the printer produced, to be sure you’re getting what you need.
