In-house color printing: inexpensive desktop printers bring color into the office
Article Abstract:
Low-cost color printers available for less than $10,000 are useful for ad agencies, designers, corporate communication departments and service bureaus that do not want to hire professional printers. The advantage to owning a color printer is the ability to get printing on demand and have greater control over the work. Designing can be an immediate and interactive experience for preparing client comps before getting output on high-end printing systems. Having a color printer in-house is useful for final stage jobs: report illustrations and overhead presentations. This guide lists color printers from over 12 manufacturers, and includes price, platform, interface, resolution and printable area.
