    Printer on a boat.

    Im thinking of selling up in the uk and having a widebeam boat made. Is there any reason why a HP T930 can’t be used on a boat. It only gets used for printing line drawings. Obviously the weight and power consumption comes into play.

    UPS for wide format printers (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

    Thanks, both printers are always left on overnight on standby, never left running overnight, it was just to protect them when a power cut happens also acts as a surge protector. They both only draw 210w The HP is 125w, Epson 85w. So 400 should be ok.
