Your bank manager would like you to think ahead. If the business is successful, you will need to improve the quality of your output devices. If cost is not an issue what output mediums could you consider, how could they improve your business and what types of graphic files can they produce?
If the business is successful and I had the capability to improve the quality of out put devices, without cost being an issue the output mediums that I would consider are the following:
- Lexmark Genesis S815 - £120
This Printer is a multifunctional device that uses an image system based on a digital camera. It has many different functions and can print an entire page of A4 paper within 3 seconds. The print quality is exceptional and reliable. It has other mini-applications that could come in handy for example a calculator, clock, Facebook and Twitter integration, graph or music paper printing and there's even an app to display news and sports feeds from Apple, ESPN and the BBC. By being able to access all these various different mini-applications it will be beneficial due to not having to purchase some of the equipment for example to calculator as it is easily downloadable for the printer. Easy access and great quality printing is what this printer will be providing. This will be extremely useful if I had the opportunity to purchase this, I would then be capable of either printing; photocopying, scan and many many more insuring the productivity of my business and produce good quality documents. A wide format printer would most likely make business better for the long run this is mainly due to the qualities that wide format printers supply to the user. The benefits of a wide format printer help enable a business to print posters or other graphics; you also receive a sharp lined product every time you print, you can also enhance the speed of the printing which will increase productivity. The down fall for wide-format printers are that they constantly surge when electrical currents pass through so in order to prevent this I would most likely use a surge protected extension lead which also allows more than one device to be plugged in at the same time.- Acer Aspire S7-391 £950 - £1,152
This Laptop is created by Acer to be an ideal portable laptop. Its design is to be slim and light which makes to easily portable which has enough power to handle serious work away from the mains. Apart from its battery life which needs improving the Acer Aspire S7-391 is the ideal laptop for the business. Not only is it an internet enabled laptop it can install various software's that will be extremely useful for the design work. By being portable this means that it is not restricted to one area like a computer and can be taken anywhere. This would be deeply appreciated if I were capable of using this laptop within my business. Making graphics would never be the same again, if price was not an issue the graphics that could be produced would be exceptional. By having all these different downloads and access to various things making different graphic formats will be great and be shown on a wide screen of high standard.
- iMac 27-inch: 3.2GHz £1,699.00
This iMac has been developed by Apple, there are many previous models that have been created and are of great quality but this one would be ideal for design. Not only is it thin and 'an all-in-one piece of art' it has a wider screen for display. This will come in handy as it allows you to see photos, games, films in a vivid and lifelike version. By having these features it will allow the productivity to be more worthwhile and to be of a better quality. When the utensil is good the product that is produced tends to be even better and in this case due to the iMac being one of the best, the merchandise will also be of a high standard. Not only this the memory allows you to create and save more data which can come in handy, memory is not only for saving purposes it allows you to install various types of software which will then assist in creating highly regarded products.
-64GB Memory card £380.00
The Kingston 64GB memory card will be the perfect asset to the graphics produced, they will allow more storage for memory purposes. This will help as we can then develop previous ideas until they are perfect and suitable for the customer, by this I mean I am capable of altering images or other graphical formats repeatedly until they of high praise. This allows me to save more data which will be highly valued and can help avoid any paper work. Online storage can also be accessed so all data is in one collective and safe place. Memory is the key to it all and with excessive amounts memory more software and graphics can be stored within a laptop or computer to increase RAM etc.
-Asus Ge Force GTX Titan 6144MB £900.00
This graphics card will be best and most valued in my business, it has more gigabytes and makes games and will also allow games to be shown / run more smoothly. It will also be much quieter and will work faster and be cooler so there will be no problem regarding over heating or conking out. Games tend to be more easily played and graphics usually end up not of poor quality and very good visually. Quieter graphics card are usually due to the attached fan that is connected to the graphics card which prevent over heating and then noise which would occur whenever the computer or laptop happened to be turned on. Graphics used and produced will be of the highest quality.
