Written by Heather Trone | Mar 26, 2018 12:37:42 PM

As with most technology, wide format printers have evolved over the years, increasing their value as everyday office tools. Some recent advancements in wide format printing include:

Print speed - While wide format printers enable users to print in sizes not available with traditional printers, this freedom comes at a cost: speed. However, modern wide format machines are faster than ever and are no longer the lumbering devices their predecessors were.

Print sizes – With wide format printing growing in popularity, so has the need for larger-sized outputs. To accommodate this demand, many wide format printers can support rolls of paper up to 64 inches wide.

Print surfaces – Modern wide format printers are capable of printing on a wide variety of media options, including vinyl, textiles, and thick cardboard cartons.

If you're outsourcing a lot of posters, banners or other large jobs at local printers, you can be spending anywhere from $25 to more than $100 to have a poster made.  With a wide format printer at your business, you can do that job for far less money, on your own time and control your colors and branding.
