What is a Wide Format Printer?

Wide-format printers are used to print large scale output onto larger or wider paper than is possible on a conventional printer or copier. Wide format printers print onto rolls rather than onto individual sheets. The most common uses for wide format printers are for printing CAD and GIS output, such as architectural drawings, geographic maps, electronic schematics, and construction plans as well as large or wide format display graphic arts and photography, fine art, POS material, signage, banners, posters, wallpaper, murals and vehicle wraps. Wide format printers are also known as large format printers or plotters, the latter particularly in CAD & GIS environments.

Our wide format printers allow you to print high-quality CAD/GIS or stunning display graphics, and produce copies in both colour or black & white.

Who uses wide format printers?

Wide format printers are used across many industries, including architecture, construction, mapping, manufacturing, design, marketing, professional print & education.

Bringing large format printing in-house

Where once large format print jobs could only be accomplished by expensive outsourcing, our latest user-friendly, software-rich wide format printers are increasingly being adopted by organisations for in-house wide format printing as a more cost-effective way of producing large format jobs. Businesses are looking for immediate results and flexibility and with the accessibility and increased knowledge around printer & copy software solutions and reductions in copier hardware pricing, in house printer productivity is now available to everyone.

Leasing or buying a wide format printing solution

However, if finance would be a simpler option, through our sister company, Nationwide Capital Finance, we are able to offer flexible term finance for your wide format printer purchase so you can spread the cost of buying your wide format printer over 2, 3, 4 or 5-year leasing options.
