Big projects require big printers. Whether you’re printing signs, banners or large posters, many printing needs go beyond the capabilities of a home printer in terms of size and quality. Here’s a quick guide to the materials commonly used for large scale printing and when it’s time to call a professional for help.
Are you printing a sign for the promotion of your business? The printing process depends on the type of sign and materials used.
You can read more about different signage materials and solutions here.
Of course, most signs require printers and equipment beyond the capabilities of most homes and offices and must be ordered through a commercial printer.
In addition to signage, there are other types of printing that require large printers, including:
These products are printed on more basic materials (such as paper and card stock) but require advanced equipment because of the paper size and resolution needed for clear text and images.
Wondering if it might be more cost-effective to DIY your next print project? While you could theoretically save money over time, you would need to print a very large number of items before making back the cost of the printer. Most equipment capable of large scale printing is expensive and bulky, and can require costly maintenance with time.
A few types of specialized printing equipment commonly found in commercial print shops includes:
Dye-Based Inkjet Printers: These are ideal for producing high-quality photo prints and graphics. Dye-based inks are often used for vibrant and detailed images.
Pigment-Based Inkjet Printers: Pigment-based inks are resistant to fading and can be used for outdoor signage.
Color Laser Printers: These printers utilize laser technology for color printing on large sheets of paper. They’re also known for their speed and precision, making them a good choice for certain graphic applications.
In almost all cases, it is much more cost effective to partner with a reliable local printer than to purchase this equipment for your business’ use. Plus, you benefit from the print staff’s years of specialized experience and knowledge– saving you time and money on troubleshooting issues yourself.
