For large printing needs large printers are needed. For this reason, UAE Technician offers a wide range of rental printers suitable for advertising agencies and architectural firms . They are plotters and support formats ranging from A2 to B0. Thanks to them, it is possible to print CAD projects, maps, billboards, posters.
Large format printing is the most emblematic feature of plotters, but not the only one. They often take advantage of different technologies than smaller multifunction printers, which allow them to save ink and energy.
Advantages of large format printers
An A2 sheet measures 420 × 594 mm, while an A1 sheet measures 594 × 841 mm . These are cumbersome measures that a traditional printer cannot handle. In fact, the first large format plotters had nothing of today’s printers. They consisted of a cart with a nib, which marked points and lines on the sheet of paper. The more advanced models allowed to mount nibs of different color and thickness, but many were monochromatic.
The revolution took place with the arrival of inkjet printing , still the most used technology for large format printing. The machine has a head that moves along a trolley and shoots tiny drops of ink on the sheet. The more ink droplets are smaller , the higher the printing resolution . Depending on the model, the number of basic colors used also changes: a plotter for an architecture studio will have 4, one for an advertising agency will also have 8.
Inkjet technology is the one best suited to the office environment . In fact the large format inkjet plotters :
- They do not need pre-heating and start printing immediately
- They are fast and can print a page in a1 in 20 seconds
- Manage different media
- They are low consumption , since they do not have to heat up
- Offer higher print quality
Large format printing with HP DesignJet
The choice of large format plotter for just depends largely on your type of business. Do you need to print many photos and color illustrations? Chances are you’ll need a high resolution printer, which supports 8-12 inks. In most cases, however, the criteria to be followed are other.
HP DesignJet large format plotters are aimed primarily at architectural firms, engineers, designers . As for the number of colors, most of the models are between 6 and 4 inks . We are therefore however above the canonical 4 inks of traditional printers. If your goal is to print CAD projects, maps, renderings, office documents, they are more than enough for great results.
The HP DesignJet models allow you to print in high resolution , reaching up to 2400 dpi ( dot per inch , dots per inch). The lines and curves are sharp and the details are all accurate. A plotter with 6 inks like HP Designjet T2530 allows you to print renderings with sharp colors and rich in details. Auto-load paper rollers speed up the printing of multiple sheets, while front loading makes it easier to add paper as needed.
Another factor to consider is the ability to scan and connect to the plotter from a mobile device. A large format multifunction plotter is a practical solution, which allows you to have more tools in less space. The possibility of connecting from a mobile phone to the printer, on the other hand, facilitates the management of the work even remotely. HP plotters have both of these characteristics.
Why choose rental printers
Large format printers have a considerable cost, especially if you choose the more advanced models. Of course, you can save something by buying used machines . However, this involves two problems.
The wear . A ten or twenty year old printer needs a lot more maintenance than a new machine.
The obsolete technology . We leave out the possibility of connecting via mobile, which fifteen years ago would have been science fiction. In recent years, technology has made great strides, improving the quality of printing itself. For example, plotters from fifteen years ago did not have the current systems for eliminating imperfections .
A good alternative to buying is the rental of large format office printers . You can choose new models at a competitive price, keeping them in the office for 24/36/48/60 months . When the previous contract expires, you can switch to a newer and more up-to-date model. This way you always have the latest technologies available without increasing office management costs.
The rental printers are an advantageous solution also from the fiscal point of view. Since the final purchase of the asset is not expected, the plotter is never entered in the company balance sheet .
