Wide Format Printer

Wide Format Printer Capability

When you run a small business like I do you may find that you need items that you never dreamed of needed. My particular surprise came in the need for a wide format printer. Most of my income comes from making pencil drawings for people. However, one client wanted something a little different that required a wide format printer.

I guess that I should give you a brief look into what a wide format printer is. Regular high-grade printers like the one that I owned in the first place are capable of printing photographs and poster-quality items as long as those prints were a certain size. My customer wanted a picture that was over 24 inches wide.

That would be fine if she had ordered a simple pencil drawing but she opted for a poster sized portrait of her kids in digital ink. This required a wide format printer because she wanted a larger image than my computer printer could actually handle. I had other options that I’ll share.

Wide Format Printer Other Options

I could have gone through a couple of online printing companies including Café Press or Snapfish. However, I really didn’t feel right about using an online service for a product that I was selling. I figured that purchasing a wideformatprinter would be a better alternative to using another printing service for my client.

I also wanted to forgo other options like Kinko’s. While I really loved the idea of just letting the pros do the work, it suddenly hit me that I am one of the pros and I need to do my own work. This required the purchase of a good wide format printer for those unusual orders that demand such a product.

When I saw that Kodak offered a great wide format printer, I jumped on the chance to own one. The price was right and this item has all of the features I could ever want. I’m actually thinking about encouraging clients to consider buying large scale portraits and drawings in digital ink.

Working in the field of art is a life-long dream that I am so happy to have attained. Being able to put images down on paper is a rewarding experience. In order to make sure that I offer a variety of options for my clients I figured that the purchase of the wideformatprinter is a great investment that will come to good use.
