We offer these six large format printers for out customers:

The default page size format for these printers is A0 (84.1cm x 118.9cm). Page sizes up to 106 cm x 424 cm can be selected in the printer driver. All these printers are equipped with 106 cm wide rolls of 120 g/m² normal paper. There is an unprintable margin of 1 cm around the posters.
