How Can an A3 Printer Benefit Me?

Last Updated on March 2, 2023 by Christian Ralph

When first setting up your business, one of the main things you’ll want to consider is the type of printer you need and the paper size you want to go for, as there’s a huge variety when it comes to printer models. Whilst an A4 printer can meet most user needs, an A3 printer presents an opportunity for businesses to increase productivity, efficiency, and creativity.

The good news is that all of our A3 printers also allow for A4 printing, giving you the best of both worlds. Available in both laser and inkjet models with colour/mono options and single-function/multi-function capabilities, you’ll be sure to find a printing solution that meets all your needs.

Whether creating professional designs in-house or enhancing marketing and communications with banners and posters, an A3 printer can prove a valuable tool in any work arena.

For those thinking of entering the world of A3, here are just some of the business benefits of owning an A3 printer.

Make an Impression with A3 Printing

With A3 paper presenting a two-fold size increase when compared to A4 paper, larger prints can help set you apart from the crowd.

A3 printers allow users to produce a wide range of eye-catching marketing materials with vibrant colours and high resolutions. They also have a great deal of graphic design potential, and the larger size that A3 allows can be helpful for people who are vision impaired.

Aside from producing marketing materials, an A3 printer can also be an essential tool in professional work environments such as the fields of architecture, town planning and more.

Cut Costs with an A3 Printer

Adding an A3 printer to your workspace can prove highly advantageous in managing print costs. With the ability to produce professional quality promotional materials in-house, an A3 printer alleviates the need for outsourcing to third parties. We also have a range of low-running cost A3 printers to make the process even more cost-effective.

Another advantage of choosing to buy an A3 printer with us is that you won’t need to purchase a separate printer for A4 printing, as all our A3 printers have A4 capability. Using an A3 printer reduces your reliance on other companies, allowing you to create high-quality marketing resources with significantly quicker production times and lower costs.

In addition to promoting self-sufficiency, A3 printers also include a wide array of cost-saving attributes. With features including automatic double-sided printing and the option to

continue printing in mono (even if the printer is out of colour toner), users can ensure print costs are kept to a minimum.

High-capacity toner cartridges also reduce the cost-per-page and reduce the frequency of user intervention. For those looking for complete control over A3 print costs, a managed print solution is a highly effective option.

Available to all users and highly scalable for larger enterprise users, managed print solutions deliver full transparency in all aspects of printing – at Printerland, we have a selection of managed print subscription services to choose from, as an alternative to purchasing a new printer.

With services tailored around the needs of the user, Managed Print Solutions give users total control over their costs with fixed cost-per-page prints, irrespective of print volume, page coverage or ratio of colour to mono printing.

Boost Productivity With an A3 Printer

Because an A3 printer can print in a variety of different sizes and mediums, it can serve as a hub for multiple office requirements. Colour multifunction A3 printers are becoming more and more popular and offer functions such as printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, offering outstanding versatility with the ability to cope with demanding work environments. You can also cut costs with a multifunction printer, as you won’t need to purchase multiple devices.

With higher volume print capacities when compared to A4 printers, an A3 printer can help users to tackle heavy workloads with ease.

A host of optional accessories allows users to expand their A3 printers’ capabilities. Users can fully customise their A3 printer with increased print volumes via additional high-capacity feeders or the ability to create professional, stapled booklets with an optional office finisher.

With A3 models available with wireless print features as standard, users can print from anywhere in the workplace. Mobile print apps including AirPrint and Mopria Alliance also allow users to print wirelessly from Apple & Android mobile devices, with access to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and DropBox providing flexibility for users.

Networkability options allow multiple users to print to one printer, consolidating print needs into a single A3 device. With many A3 multifunction printers including large, colour touchscreens, users can easily access tasks and print functions, allowing for a more straightforward operation.

For those with print needs beyond A3, SRA3 printers allow larger documents for spectacular promotional materials. Using slightly larger than standard A3 paper sizes at 320mm x 450mm, SRA3 circumvents the limitations of conventional A3 laser printers which produce a blank border on the document when printing. SRA3 printers create a larger print which can then be trimmed to A3 size producing an edge-to-edge document.
