How to Choose the Right Wide Format Equipment Provider
Choosing the right wide format print equipment provider comes down to understanding your priorities and finding a provider that satisfies them. Only you know exactly what your print-related priorities are, but here at Duncan-Parnell, we can help you understand them better.
We’ve put together a list of points to consider so you can make the best choice in equipment providers.
What Are Your Printing Priorities?
Look at how you print today. Are you printing from multiple locations, either in a central office or at remote sites? Do you have a large queue of unprinted documents and need to reprioritize throughout the day? Is top speed a priority or are you more concerned with print quality and accuracy? Does hard copy wide format printing represent the bulk of what you print or will you be using your printer essentially for electronic and copying functions?
What Do You Need to Print?
It’s important to have a grasp of what you will be printing. Break down your print jobs into typical, occasional and future print types. You don’t want to choose a printer that gives a perfect result for a document type you rarely print, but can’t deliver the speed and quality of your day-to-day needs. Consider other types of print jobs that you may need in the future — for a new type of CAD layout, for example, or on a specific type of paper.
Where Will Your Printer Be Located?
Depending on the model of printer you choose, the size may not allow you to place it where your current print equipment is. While this can sound like a small detail, relocating a printer can have a negative effect on your workflow and create problems for departments that frequently make use of your wide format print equipment. You may also want to take into account remote printing needs and access for scanning, copying and maintenance operations.
