Large format printers print materials that cannot fit on the most commonly used commercial printing presses. For large format printing, one needs special production equipment capable of accommodating bigger-than-normal print sizes. Typically, it is a flat wall-hanging; however, it can also be folded or free-standing in some situations. As with inkjet printers, it sprays ink onto selected materials to quickly produce crisp, detailed prints. Besides printing banners, posters, trade show graphics, wallpapers, and vehicle images, large format printers use a variety of applications.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impacted the global large format printer market. Due to low spending power and reduced investment in lifestyle needs, clothing and textiles sectors were in lower demand. It has led to a decline in large format printer demand from apparel and home decor applications. Furthermore, the continuous decline in home decor product demand and exports negatively affected the large format printer market.
