5 Business Benefits of Owning an Industrial Inkjet Printer

Written by: Mike Terlizzi
Business Tips

The innovation behind inkjet printing has made it the technology of choice for industrial use. Not only is the print resolution superior to other machines, the streamlined workflows and ease of use make the entire printing process much more efficient than outsourcing or relying on outdated equipment. Plus, whether you’re a manufacturer, reseller or somewhere in between, there is an industrial inkjet printer that will work for nearly any type of material you offer.

So, if you’re trying to decide if owning an industrial printer is the right move for your company, here are five ways it can benefit your business’ bottom line:

1. Simplified, More Efficient Workflows

Modern inkjet printing technology with variable data, process color and opaque white ink capable printers are far less difficult to use than older, more complicated presses. With very little set up time and rare mid-production adjustments, jobs can be run unattended and be completed within much shorter timeframes.

Now, industrial printers are much simpler and the speed and accuracy in which they print is light years beyond old-school techniques. With single bed pass printing and low maintenance requirements, operating and caring for this equipment to ensure peak performance quickly becomes second nature.

Many printers also have related smart phone apps that let you monitor production remotely, allowing you and your employees to focus on other job duties.

2. On-Demand Possibilities

With an industrial printer on site, you’re able to turn around finished products in a very short time frame. This also gives you the ability to take unique customer requests, which can be a major differentiator between you and your competition. You can also quickly create seasonal and timely pieces, like if a local high school wins a big baseball game or an upcoming event needs last-minute banners printed.

3. High-Quality, Large-Volume Printing

You don’t always know what you’ll be getting if you send your products off site for printing or purchase them preprinted. Outsourcing companies may claim to have “cutting edge” equipment, when in reality they are using antiquated systems that are not suitable for your application, resulting in low-quality prints.

Inkjet printers are well-known for producing vivid colors on a variety of different materials, some of which include:

  • Smartphone Covers
  • Awards
  • Wayfinding/Safety Signage
  • Packaging
  • Identification Cards
  • Wedding Specialties
  • Membrane Switch Panels
  • Key Fobs
  • Lenticular Panels
  • Shoes
  • Medals
  • Signs
  • Stickers
  • Flags & Banners

By investing in an inkjet printer with capabilities that suit the types of materials you need to print on, you can ensure your final product is of the highest quality. You’ll also become the one in charge of production, so you’re able to monitor the outcome of your materials and make any necessary adjustments in real time.

4. Cost Benefits & Incentives

An industrial printer is an investment that can provide financial benefits in several areas. Owning equipment eliminates the need for outsourcing, which can often have huge upcharges compared with in-house production along with uncertain delivery dates that can affect not only your schedule, but also your customers’. You’re also able to avoid the minimum quota requirements set by printing companies and print on only what you need, which will greatly reduce your per job expenses.

Owning your own printer will also prove valuable on your taxes. Whether you lease or own a printer, you can receive a tax break for your business but it will be more substantial if you own the equipment. Purchasing software and ink can also count as deductible equipment accessories.

5. Little to No Waiting Periods

The wait time to receive your final product is seemingly nonexistent if you own your own inkjet printer. Outsourcing can have a long turnaround since items need to be shipped, printed and then shipped back to you. The delivery dates are also never a guarantee since there could be production issues, shipping delays or both.

Improved workflows, higher-quality products and numerous cost benefits — doesn’t that sound like something your business could benefit from? If so, feel free to contact us to find out what brand of inkjet printer is best for your company.
