Tabloid Printing

Many businesses will never use a tabloid printer, yet many people are drawn towards them. A tabloid printer is not right for every business. They are generally only right for a small, select type of business. Salt Lake City Copier wants to help you understand tabloid printing and what it can do for your business.

A Tabloid printer is essentially a larger print than your standard size. Tabloid prints are twice as large and measure at 11” x 17”. This is perfect for people that work in media and advertising industries. Tabloid printers are usually the most powerful machines on the market. They also carry a high price tag.

Tabloid printers can add thousands to the cost of your printer. That cost is only for the copier itself, and does not include the higher monthly cost of maintenance. Tabloid printers have more moving parts and thus they will need more maintenance.

With all the extra cost and hassle, you may ask why people bother with these machines. One reason is pure ignorance. Tabloid printers are the biggest machines and look powerful. Some people are drawn towards them because they look more “professional” than smaller options. This can be wasteful as they will probably never use the tabloid feature.

Some people are simply tricked by sneaky salespeople. They get convinced it’s better to have it and not need it, instead of need it and not have it. Again, this is a waste of money as the cost is very high for a rare possibility.

Tabloid printers are the perfect option for design heavy, and media based businesses. These companies need all the best printing technology to get their product right. To companies like this, tabloid printers can be essential for success.
