KIP (headquartered in Novi, Michigan) is a leading global manufacturer of digital wide-format printing and scanning solutions designed for large-scale documents up to 36 inches wide. They are the industry benchmark for architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms, as well as manufacturing and geographic information systems (GIS) niches.
Rather than standard home or office inkjet printers, KIP designs heavy-duty, high-speed machines specifically built to print blueprints, CAD drawings, maps, and large-scale schematics. Core Technology & Advantages
High Definition Print (HDP) Technology: KIP uses advanced LED print heads and a dry-toner system that provides 600 x 2400 dpi resolution. This ensures razor-sharp lines and smooth grayscale gradients necessary for highly detailed technical schematics.
100% Toner Efficient: Unlike typical printers, KIP’s green HDP technology produces zero waste toner and does not use traditional imaging carriers or developers that require frequent replacement. This drastically lowers the total cost of ownership.
Ultra-Durable Prints: Because they use toner instead of liquid ink, KIP prints are instantly dry, waterproof, smudge-proof, highlighter-safe, and UV light-resistant. This makes them perfect for rugged use on construction sites.
Consistent Speed: KIP systems maintain their rated printing speed (often measured in “D-size” 24” x 36” prints per minute) regardless of the complexity or ink/toner coverage of the file. Key Printer Series
