How to Choose a Large Format Printer?

For many start-up printing companies, how to choose a printer has become a huge challenge. How to make the best decision when there are numerous brands and models with the same advantages and functions? This article is trying to help you choose a cost-effective and good use printer based on your application and production requirements.

 

What is the main reason you are looking for a large format inkjet printer? Please make sure you consider each application you will use. To guide you, here we list the common applications for a large format printer as following:

Fine arts and photography

Signs and banners

Vehicle wraps

Retail display

Tradeshow displays

Textile printing, like soft signage, fabric graphics or flags

Wallpaper, like murals or vinyl wall coverings

 

 

Tip: if you’re thinking about various applications, list them in order of importance, and contact sales professional for help (sales03@wer-china.com). It’s possible for you to use the same printer (and ink type) for different applications.

 

It’s vital to identify the applications you need, as it determines the substrates you’ll use.

If you are planning to produce vehicle wraps, you’ll require a printer that is compatible with adhesive vinyl. If the printing machine is for a photography studio, you’ll need a printer that works with photo paper. And things like that.

 

And your media choices will decide which kind of ink you need.

Ink choice plays a critical role in the whole process since it’s what makes the printer work on the substrate. If you have the wrong ink chemistry, your materials can’t be properly combined with ink, and you’ll come to nothing.
