We are changing to a single print vendor for all our locations and will be
replacing most every printer (corporate has already made this decision, I
don't need any recommendations for vendors!). Some of our printers are
IPDS printers now, but most use host print transform to regular old PCL
printers.
Is getting an IPDS option for printers still worth it? This option usually
adds $500 or more to the cost of the printer.
With host print transform, the host system has to do extra work like
translate the data from EBCDIC to ASCII and translate the whole job to
PCL. On older systems, this could take some time, but I have not noticed
any print delays for a couple of iSeries generations.
What about access to printer features? Output fidelity? Any other
considerations I am overlooking?
I should note that we are not a high-volume print shop. Some of our
printers might print 300 pages a day, but that is probably tops.
