1: Faster turn-around times

With a wide format printer, you can theoretically print whenever you want. Depending on how complex the task is, you can create a document in a matter of seconds or minutes. Alternatively, when you outsource wide format printing to a print shop, you may not receive your print(s) as soon as you expect. Additionally, you may have to wait days to have your order picked up or delivered, as the provider's schedule dictates.

2: Increased Security and Confidentiality

Typically, when you hire a print service provider to handle your wide format print jobs, you have to give up control of your confidential documents. Despite this provider's high level of trust, the risk of a possible security breach or a breach of confidentiality is heightened when you give them access to your information. There may be documents that do not require confidentiality, but other types of documents may contain confidential information such as internal or customer information. It is safer to print large format on your own rather than have it printed by an outside vendor.

3: Lower Costs

Even though wide format printing requires an investment (e.g., a printer, media, and ink), it can be a worthwhile one. When it comes to wide format printing, you may be able to save money by printing in-house rather than outsourcing. You will often pay more per page if you hire a third party than if you do it yourself. The savings can more than offset the cost of the printer and consumables when you print a fair amount of wide format output. We can help you determine if in-house wide format printing would be cost-effective for your organization.
