The basics
What are the types of high-volume production print equipment
When a print job outgrows a standard office printer or multifunction system, it's time for a more robust setup. Production printing and wide-format printing are the two main paths, and each is built for a different kind of job.
Production printing is built to turn out high volumes fast — books, brochures, magazines, catalogs, and other marketing materials at a scale a standard printer can't touch. Wide-format printing is built for size instead of volume: banners, posters, and canvas prints using large-format printers and plotters, most often for signage and graphic displays.
Built for volume
What is production print best for?
Production printing is designed for large jobs businesses can't run on a standard printer.
High-volume output
Built to print thousands of pages an hour — ideal when you need a lot, fast.
Speed
Fast turnaround on large jobs, even with tight deadlines.
Quality
Advanced technology and fine inks produce sharp, vibrant prints across a wide range of paper stocks and sizes.
Cost-effectiveness
Cost per page drops as volume goes up — more value than traditional printing on large jobs.
In-house control
Make changes and corrections on your own timeline, without waiting on an outside print shop.
Volume control
Print exactly what you need — no ordering excess just to hit a quantity discount.
Built for size

Printed books remain popular even as digital grows — publishing generates an estimated $26 billion a year in the U.S.

Product labels, safety information, and instructional manuals all depend on reliable printing.
A typical school district spends about 10% of its budget on printing — textbooks, workbooks, and handouts.
