Large Format Printers Supplier Specialists Since 1991.
Design Supply was established in 1991 and has grown to become one of the UK’s leading independent resellers of large format printers, media, inks and associated supplies.
From the very beginning, we have worked closely with architects, designers, engineers, print rooms and creative businesses, helping them find reliable print solutions that save time, reduce costs and deliver professional results.
Our business began by supplying traditional architectural print equipment, including dyeline ammonia plan printers, plan copiers and associated consumables. As technology changed, so did we. Pen plotters gradually gave way to the large format inkjet printers used today, and Design Supply continued to evolve alongside the industry.
Over the years, our product range and customer base have grown significantly. We now supply large format print solutions for CAD, technical drawings, maps, posters, photography, fine art, signage, point of sale, education and in-house print production.
With more than three decades of experience, we understand that choosing the right printer can be confusing. Our role is to make that process simple. Whether you need an A1 printer for drawings and plans, an A0 printer for higher-volume CAD work, a photographic printer, a signage printer, or the right paper and ink for your existing machine, we will help you choose the right solution for your needs, budget and workload.
We work with some of the biggest names in large format printer suppliers and offer honest, practical advice based on real industry experience. Our aim is not just to sell a machine, but to make sure you get the right piece of kit to do the job properly, on time and on budget.
Customers choose Design Supply because we can support them with the complete large format printing setup: printers, scanners, ink, toner, paper, specialist media, accessories, servicing and ongoing advice.
We are proud of the reputation we have built since 1991 and even prouder of the long-standing relationships we have with our customers. You can read what they think of us in the reviews section of our website.
Whether you are buying your first large format printer, replacing an older machine, looking for better running costs, or simply need help choosing the right media, we are here to help.
Relax and print — we’ll do the rest.
