Printing is often overlooked by many businesses, but it’s one of the most influential ways that your organisation can attract customers quickly, promote your or your client’s work, and share information internally. But what is a flatbed large format printer?
Before getting into flatbed large format printers, we’ll focus on large format printers.
A large format printer (LFP) is a tool designed for oversized print jobs. They give businesses the ability to print large-scale items in-house rather than going through a third-party company. Printing in-house means businesses don’t have to rely on outsourcing print jobs, giving them complete control over their print quality, as well as ensuring consistent branding.
Additionally, using an LFP means constant access to printing capabilities, avoiding potential shipping delays and having to adhere to third-party operating hours. This makes urgent printing jobs and printing in large volumes achievable for businesses.
To be classified as a large print, a project should possess dimensions of at least 12 inches in width or height.
Now that we’ve delved into large format printers, let’s take a closer look at LFPs that cater to signage and décor.
