Today’s blog explores the incredible potential of two of the hardware solutions offered here at JBM Office Systems – wide format printers and multi-function devices (MFDs), with a specific focus on the premium offerings from industry-acclaimed brands RICOH and HP.
Wide-format printing has come a long way, growing to become an indispensable tool for a variety of industries across the world. It started with the invention of large-format plotters, which were primarily used in industries like architecture and engineering to provide detailed drawings. Advancements in inkjet technology are ultimately held responsible for its increased development and abilities.
A standard feature of today’s wide format printers is the high-quality, vibrant colours they’re able to reproduce, making them valuable in countless applications, from graphic design to marketing! The advanced wide format printers of today also offer precision printing, multiple media handling options, and eco-friendly functionalities.
Known for their high level of precision and flexibility, inkjet printers shine in complex tasks. From reproducing detailed architectural blueprints with clarity to creating vibrant marketing brochures, the versatility of inkjet printers spans numerous industries. These printers can also handle various substrates, allowing businesses to choose between standard or glossy paper or other mediums.
Acclaimed for their quick printing and reliability, laser printers have become a mainstay for many medium and large workgroups.
It’s also become an asset for several industries with time-sensitive projects, like print-for-pay services. Here, laser printers can efficiently handle large volumes, producing everything from promotional materials to architectural renderings with impressive turnaround times.
Recognized for their advanced large-format printing capabilities and eco-friendly features, LED printers provide the best of both worlds. Defined by their lower energy consumption, their signature LED technology reduces their environmental impact, leading to cost savings for those who use them. Offices looking to prioritize sustainability might consider opting for an LED printer to minimize overall energy usage.
Each industry carries its own needs and challenges. That’s why we customize each of our MFD and wide-format printing solutions to meet the unique needs of your operations. Below, we’ll discuss the various benefits of wide-format printing and MFD solutions across several industries, including manufacturing, engineering, municipal government, utilities, and print-for-pay services.
In municipal government, our customization efforts can include tailoring any one of our MFD solutions to update your current document management processes. Through effective scanning and archiving, local governments can improve their ability to manage records, increasing transparency and accountability.
Large-format multifunction printers can assist manufacturers in creating detailed prototypes, streamlining design validation, and reducing the time it takes to get it to market. This process involves creating high-resolution models that allow for honest feedback on product designs.
For engineers, we focus on wide-format printing solutions for technical drawings and blueprints. Wide-format printers ensure accuracy in all the important details and foster seamless collaboration among teams, contractors, and any stakeholders involved. With a simplified form of communication, the risk of errors and misinterpretations is decreased, saving you valuable time and resources.
For the print-for-pay sector, the goal has always been to increase efficiency and meet tight deadlines. And now thanks to HP commercial printers, it’s finally possible. Recognized for their high speed, these printers allow businesses to handle large volumes while demonstrating quick turnaround times. This line of commercial printers not only improves operational responsiveness but contributes to the competitive success of businesses in the print-for-pay services sector.
