Maximize the ROI of the large format CAD printer

ROI, return of investment is always one of the key consideration in making business decision. In this case, we are going to discuss on the investment decision in purchasing a LFP from the perspective of ROI.

1. Choosing the right plan printer model.
Getting a suitable model is the key. The buyers need to considers requirements as below:

a. Maximum technical document print size requirement, not only present but also in the next 5 years time. (A0 or A1)

b. Print volume during the peak period. The selected model must be able to accommodate to the high volume during the busiest time frame. 

c. Product life cycle
The longer the life cycle, the higher the ROI. This depends not only on brand and model, but also the demographic.
For example, HP Designjet 500 series has much longer product life cycle as compared to HP Designjet T770 and T790.

And in Malaysia, Canon iPF605 has longer life cycle as compared to Canon IPF610.

d. Warranty
The longer the standard warranty period, the ROI is going to better. 
The time and material costs after the warranty period shall be considered as well.

e. After sales support
If the brand owner is having a service crew to take care of the printers, it shall be fine. If it is handled by service agents or dealers, make sure you are dealing with the reputable vendors.

Last but not least, do install a voltage stabilizer or UPS based on the power supply condition at your area.
