What clients say
Told straight, by the people who hired us
Metro Sales attitude and professionalism has never faltered. I never felt that I was bothering them, asking too many questions and/or too much of them. When conflicts arose, I believe the mutual respect we have for each other, allowed us to resolve conflicts or problems with a reasonable and rational outcome. The partnership we have with Metro Sales, is the best I have ever experienced and look forward to many more years of creating and making things better.
Working with our Account Manager has been fantastic. When it comes to certain technology in our office, we are less than eager to make changes. They have always been patient and understanding of that. We move slowly on these changes and we appreciate them understanding our needs and our timelines.
When I have had to call for service in the past it's so nice to know that a technician will be out quickly. We've never had excessive down time. The techs come out quick and get things fixed and us back up and running. They are always professional and knowledgeable.
FAQ
Questions we get
before the first call
The questions prospective clients ask us most about wide format printers. Anything else, a real person will answer today.
Ask us directlyWide-format printers are built to handle oversized documents like blueprints, maps, and architectural drawings, making them the right fit when a job's dimensions exceed what a standard printer can handle. Production printers, by contrast, are designed for high-volume, high-speed output, making them better suited to large print runs like marketing materials and direct mail campaigns.
A wide-format printer handles documents larger than standard letter or legal size, making it the right choice for maps, posters, banners, and architectural drawings. If your team regularly produces oversized visuals or technical documents, a wide-format device keeps that work in-house.
The choice of leasing vs. buying depends on a variety of factors, including use case and budgets. Leasing can lower your organization's investment up front, and make it easier to upgrade as your needs change. On the other hand, buying may make sense if wide-format printing is a core, ongoing part of your operations. Our team can walk through both options based on your print volume and budget.
Architecture, engineering, construction, education, and government offices are common places to find a wide-format printer, since they frequently work with blueprints, CAD drawing print-outs, and large-format materials. However, any business regularly producing signage, posters, or marketing collateral in-house can benefit from having a production printer on-site.
Before investing in a wide format print solution, it's important to think through items like your print volume, paper and media types, etc. Plus, how you will integrate the device into your existing workflows is a consideration worth asking – would your team use wide format printers daily, or just for occasional tasks?
