I recommend:  Get a good deal on a used large format printer on eBay or PrinterFarm.com, but do your homework. For used printers, opt for a LED printer rather than an Inkjet because Inkjets quickly become outdated. When you purchase a used printer for large format photo printing or large format poster printing, pay close attention to the warranty and service plan options. Find a trusted brand and don’t buy used printers from a large format printing company no longer in business; it is difficult to get service and parts.

Purchase a printer to meet your company's frequent large format printing needs If you business regularly produces large materials, a wide format printer is a good investment. LED printers are more expensive than Inkjet printers initially, but Inkjet printers drain ink which is costly. However, if your printing needs include graphics like large format photo printing, an Inkjet provides better resolution and prints on different types of media.
