Expand your horizons with a wide format printer to suit your style of photography
Are you a professional photographer who's passionate about the way your images are printed? What are you looking for in a printer? Do you want to reproduce sharp images with exquisite tonal variations? Do you need precise control over speed and colour range?
We offer a premium range of wide format printers, photographic paper, and software to suit your personal or business needs, and take the quality of your work to the next level.
What should I consider before buying a wide format printer?
If you're considering buying a wide format printer, you might be overwhelmed by the features and specifications you need to consider. The more customisable a model is, the more opportunities you have to replicate an image exactly the way you want.
Consider what settings you can change and how easy it is to do so. If you're trying to replicate the same results from another printer, you need comprehensive options for calibrating – so there's consistency in the way you print your images.
We have several models designed for replicating imagery at different page sizes and speeds. It's useful to ask yourself some of these questions when you're considering the best wide format printer for you:
- What are the needs of your business and your clients?
- What are the pain points?
- Do you need to operate your printer via RIPs (Raster Image Processor) and colour management programs?
