Whether you're an engineer, architect, town planner or craftsman, you know how essential high-quality large-format printing is to your projects. Depending on the complexity and importance of a project, the quality and size of the print become paramount.
Before making the decision to invest in an HP large format printer, it's crucial to consider several key criteria to ensure you choose the equipment that best meets your needs. At CK, we understand the importance of this decision, and that's why we're committed to supporting our customers every step of the way.
Here are some key steps to consider:
What kind of documents do you want to print?
The first step is to decide which HP printer range is right for you.
> If you print plans, computer graphics and maps, then you'll choose the HP Designjet T series.
> If you print graphics, professional photos, posters or complex maps, then you'll choose the HP Designjet Z series.
What format do you want to print in?
In this second step, you'll choose the maximum width of your printer.
> If your maximum document format is A1, then the choice will be a 24" (61cm) wide printer.
> If your maximum document format is an A0, then the choice will be a 36" (91cm) wide printer.
> For formats larger than A0, you can choose between a 40-inch (101cm), 44-inch (111cm) or 60-inch (152cm) wide printer.
How much printing do you do, and how often?
In this third step, you'll estimate your monthly print volume, using the number of rolls ordered per year if necessary.
You should also take into account whether you have printing peaks, so that you can choose a superior model.
Do you need to scan or copy?
If you need to scan or copy, then you'll choose a multifunction printer.
How much will it cost and how can I finance it?
- Budget: Compare models that match your requirements, taking into account long-term maintenance costs such as inks and paper.
- Purchase or lease: The decision between purchase and lease depends on your financial situation, your printing needs, your ability to make an initial investment and your equipment management preference.
