Whether you require high-volume printing, exceptional colour capabilities, or advanced finishing options, buying a production printer is vital to maintaining efficiency and professionalism.
However, selecting the right production printer can be a challenging task. With so many printing manufacturers in the market, it isn’t always straightforward to pick a clear winner, especially considering the substantial evolution of printing technology over the last few years.
But worry not, Kyocera is here to walk you through the key factors to consider when choosing the best production printer for your specific printing needs.
According to Future Market Insights, the global production printer market is expected to reach 16.21bn dollars by 2033. One of the main reasons for this growth is the rising popularity of advanced printing technologies, such as inkjet and digital printing that offer businesses superior advantages such as rapid, accurate and variable data printing. In short, the future of inkjet is shining bright.
Inkjet printers are known for their versatility and quick turnaround times, making them an excellent choice for businesses that handle various print materials in fast-paced work environments. Unlike offset printing, which requires expensive printing plates, digital inkjet printers can create prints directly from digital files, making them more economical for short print runs.
Moreover, the recent advancement of inkjet technology has closed the quality gap between digital and offset printing, making digital inkjet a viable option for various applications, from commercial printing to transactional and direct-mail applications. If it’s flawless colour-rich prints that you’re after, you won’t be disappointed in an inkjet production printer.
For us, the winner is clear: it’s inkjet. Now let’s dive into the technicalities!
Start by determining the print volume your business requires on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Understanding your print volume will help you identify the appropriate printer capacity to handle your workload without causing bottlenecks. An inkjet digital printing press will be particularly advantageous if you have varying print volumes or need on-demand printing.
Next, evaluate the speed at which your printer needs to operate. A production printer with a high pages-per-minute (PPM) rate is essential for keeping up with demanding print schedules and meeting tight deadlines. Faster print speeds reduce wait times and allow you to deliver projects promptly, giving you a competitive edge in the market.
Colour capabilities and print quality are a critical consideration, particularly if your industry relies heavily on visual appeal and branding. Businesses that frequently print marketing materials, brochures, or product catalogues should invest in a production printer with a high print resolution and accurate colour reproduction to ensure that their materials appear professional and leave a lasting impression on their target audience. When evaluating production printers, pay close attention to the dots per inch (DPI) measurement, as it directly impacts the resolution of the final output.
Finishing touches, such as stapling, hole punching, booklet-making, and folding, can enhance the presentation and functionality of your printed materials. Select a production printer that offers the finishing features aligned with your specific requirements.
The flexibility of a production printer's paper handling capabilities is also crucial, especially if you frequently print on various paper sizes and types. By buying a production printer that can accommodate different paper weights, envelopes, cardstock, and labels, your business will be able to enhance the range of materials you can work with.
As more and more consumers are concerned about sustainability, investing in eco-friendly technology is becoming an important consideration for businesses. Choosing an environmentally conscious printer not only reduces your carbon footprint but can also lead to cost savings on energy consumption.
