Buying a3 printers is nothing like buying all-in-one desktop printers. All-in-one printers are often consistent in design in that they offer printing, scanning, copying, and fax functions. Their features are also very similar. The difference in price usually comes from performance stats and brand names. The only real constant with a3 printers is that they’re capable of producing a3-size prints. Otherwise, they can be completely different from one another, and the price range is wide. Below is a basic overview of a few of the most popular a3 printers, but you will need to do some more research on your own for in-depth details on these products.
If you’re looking to purchase one of the best a3 printers on the market, regardless of price, look at the OKI B930n. This is a black and white laser printer that’s capable of a3 and ledger-size prints. Print resolution can reach as high as 1200 x 1200 dots per inch. More impressively, it can print up to 50 pages per minute, which is one of the fastest speeds I’ve seen to date for any type of printer. The B930n also has 1100-sheet capacity. Interfaces are parallel and 10/100Base-TX.
Let’s shoot down to the low end of the spectrum. If you want to buy an a3 printer that’s cheap yet capable of the basics, check out the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 Color Inkjet Printer. This machine is capable of a3 Plus prints and the print resolution is very impressive at 5760 x 1440 dots per inch. It lacks speed, as it can only print up to 15 pages per minute. This is why the price is so low.
If you’re looking for a3 printers that are in the mid-range, consider HP models. The HP Officejet Pro K8600 costs less than $300 and is capable of a3 Plus prints and 35 pages per minute. Paper capacity is 250 sheets. If you’re willing to spend a little more money for 1100-sheet capacity and similar stats otherwise, consider the HP LaserJet 8150dn Black and White Laser Printer. Also, look into their 5500dn model.
If you’re serious about a3 printers, these are some excellent options.
