Product Overview
Print materials that are too large to be printed on the most commonly accessible sizes of commercial printing presses are referred to as large format printers. Large format printing necessitates the use of specialized production equipment that can accept print proportions that are larger than conventional. Its most usually fashioned as a flat wall hanging, although it can also be made to fold or stand-alone in some situations.

Banners, posters, trade show graphics, wallpapers, and car images are just a few of the applications for large format printers.

Market Highlights
 Large Format Printers market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 4.6% in 2031.

Large format printers play an important part in the decor industry and are a lucrative and rapidly expanding business.

These printers provide the ideal document size and high picture quality necessary to print on the final media efficiently in home furnishing, décor, and car wrap applications.

Global Large Format Printers: Segments
Aqueous ink segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31

Global Large Format Printers Market is fragmented by ink type into Aqueous, Solvent, UV-Curable, Dye Sublimation, Latex, Others. Both offer advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost and overall picture quality. Aqueous ink takes much longer to dry and is not waterproof in most cases. Furthermore, when exposed to UV radiation, this sort of ink degrades. Although the solvent ink is waterproof and UV resistant, it emits extremely dangerous chemical vapors during the printing process, necessitating specific ventilation. UV cured ink, on the other hand, has a number of advantages: it dries practically instantly, is UV resistant, and has no substantial environmental impact.

Ink-based segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31

Global Large Format Printers market is segmented by technology into Ink-based, Toner-based. The rising use of inkjet large format printers for technical and CAD printing applications is one of the key reasons for the market's higher growth rate. The architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries have traditionally favored laser printers because they use fewer colors and print faster than inkjet printers. However, as time has passed, inkjet printer manufacturers have begun to offer quicker inkjet printers with lower operating costs for big format printing, resulting in broad acceptance of inkjet printers in these industries. The replacement of toner-based printers with inkjet printers, which offer benefits such as low cost and low maintenance, is the reason for the decline in demand for toner-based printers.
