Your company wisely takes advantage of any technology or solution that can help it operate more efficiently or save money. Thankfully, there is no shortage of them available to businesses these days. However, there is one device that could help you in a number of ways that you might not have considered: a wide format printer. In this blog post, we’ll explain this versatile technology and how it can benefit your company.

What is a wide format printer?

Wide format printers provide you with the ability to print on materials with a width of up to more than one hundred inches. Some projects require you to print rich colors and graphics on a medium larger than 8 1/2” x 11”. Think blueprints, signs, banners, trade show graphics, point-of-purchase signage, posters, decals, stickers, or even engineering sketches. Wide format printers can not only accommodate larger sizes, but they can also handle a wide variety of materials. They enable you to print on paper, vinyl, fabric, wood, coasted metal, and much more. A wide format printer opens up doors to printing projects you could never dream of performing with a standard printer.

How can a wide format printer benefit my organization?

For starters, having your own wide format device in-house will eliminate the need for you to outsource jobs that can’t be handled by your run-of-the-mill office printer. By doing so, you’ll print these jobs more affordably at a lower cost-per-page, saving money otherwise spent at print shops. Depending on the amount of printing you do, you’ll easily make back your initial investment in the long run by doing these jobs in-house instead of outsourcing them.

By cutting out the print shop, you’ll also save time and gain much-needed flexibility. With your own wide format printer at your service, you can turnaround print jobs much more quickly. No more being at the mercy of a print provider’s schedule or having to wait for pickup or delivery.  Changes or revisions can be made more easily and hassle-free when you cut out the middleman. Say goodbye to missed deadlines and hello to creating high-quality, large-scale print jobs on the fly at your own schedule.

Wide format printers make it possible for you to create engaging printed materials rich in color and graphics that capture attention and convey your message. Bringing one of these robust devices in-house is more affordable than ever and will save you thousands over the long run.  If you’d like to learn more about this versatile technology, contact Golden Gate Office Solutions today to speak to one of our wide format specialists.
