Earlier in the month, we shared information about producing floor graphics, signage and labels for reopening your business. Right now, this is the best reason to get a wide-format device for your business. The cost savings and convenience of producing these materials yourself are two smart reasons to consider a wide format printer. But many people asked the question, "what will I do with it when this pandemic is over?". In this post, we will give you several great ways for your business to benefit from having an in-house wide format device.
Let's first explain what a wide format printer is. A wide format printer is a device that prints on large paper, ranging from 18 inches to 59 feet wide. They typically utilize some variety of inkjet or toner-based technology to produce the printed images. Most wide format devices print on rolled media, including a wide range of paper types, canvas, adhesive vinyl, banner vinyl, polyester and polypropylene. Not all wide format printers can print outdoor materials, so if that's one of your goals, be sure to communicate that to your account executive.
So how can a wide format printer change your business? The Rule of 7 says a person needs to see your advertisement, logo or brand at least seven times before buying our product or service. With that in mind, let's review a few ways this can be an outstanding addition to your print fleet.
These are just a few of the MANY applications for a wide format printer. With their advanced technology with regards to ink and media, the possibilities are endless. Best of all, when you have a device in-house, you are not at the mercy of a printer. If you want to change your idea two hours before an event or opening, you can! You can also source your materials to find the best deals on the media you want to print. Most critical is that you control what the output is. We've all had to deal with a project that looked one way on our screen, but completely different when printed. With your in-house wide-format unit, you control the color and the quality.
