Printing management for large format printers comes down to balancing resources. It starts with the print job due date and the resources required to complete the project. This is where Partners Graphic can be helpful – by making sure that your production facility has the right Large Format Printers to maximize profits.
Quoting From The Sales Agent
Larger projects are usually quoted by a sales agent, processed through accounting and then delegated to different employees in the art department, prepress department, printing department, bindery, packaging and then shipping.
For large format printers, the challenges develop when a manager has to decide (based on different factors) whether the print job gets printed on a litho press, digital short run printers or large format printers. Cost to quality and the time needed to complete the job are factors that must be weighed.
It starts with the print run. Digital presses and large format printers usually handle print run quantities under a thousand copies, especially if cost is a concern and a barrier. Any litho job usually has a higher cost associated because it can handle a huge print run in a shorter time frame and there may be other factors like precision die cutting, varnishes and spot colour applications that are typically not supported in the digital environment.
