A3 or A4 prints

You’re searching for a new copier for your office and you’re not sure where to start. There are so many things to consider. One of the most important things to consider is if you need a machine capable of A3 or A4 prints. This one thing can make a gigantic difference in your bill.

A3 prints are tabloid sized. This means that they are twice the size of standard A4 prints, making tabloids 11” x 17” in size. Only about 3% of prints actually are printed on tabloid sized paper, but many people learn towards A3 printing capabilities.

A3 printers have the bonus of looking like more powerful machines, because they are. Business owners will lean towards the machine that “looks more like a copier” when an A4 copier would do exactly what they need. It is a decision that is made off of looks, instead of functionality.

Deciding between A3 or A4 prints can also have a large impact on the price tag. A3 capable printers can add thousands to your bill over the years. They also have more moving parts and require more maintenance. This can lead to a big dent in your monthly income.

The only people that generally really need an A3 printer are generally media or advertising companies. These businesses are design based and need the best technology to get the best prints. If you are a business that typically does basic printing, then spending the money on an A3 printer will usually be a waste.
