Wide Format Printers are now available in a wide range of sizes, speeds and as a consequence, prices. Potential buyers will also need to decide on the type of ink technology most suited to their chosen market. A rough guide would be that water based inks are very well suited to typical indoor applications and low or mild solvent inks are very well suited to outdoor applications. Printers designed to operate with water based inks normally represent a lower capital cost but with a slightly more restricted range of applications. For example and as a general rule, you can use a low solvent ink printer for any form of indoor graphic application but you cannot use a water based printer for any outdoor graphic application. If you need flexibilty from your capital investment, the higher initial cost of a low solvent based printer is offset against the wider range of revenue generating applications which it could service.

We have deliberately avoided mentioning full or hard solvent printers up to now. In the modern world, these printers should only be chosen for very high volume and therefore high speed applications. The environmental (both workplace and wider) implications of these types of inks should mean we all try to move away from their use as soon as possible.

If you cannot find a printer suitable for your own application on our website, we are also able to supply and support printers from a number of other leading manufacturers.
