Depending on which renderer you're using, you'll either render on the CPU or the GPU. Increasingly, renderers are GPU-accelerated, so a balanced machine is again your best bet.

First order of business: Print width
How wide do you need to print? Consider your options ranging from 24" to a whopping 64". If the answer is "as wide as possible" your second thought should be your printer footprint. How much space is available in your office or studio for a printer?
Which features matter to you in a printer/plotter?
Your checklist might include: a printed page stacker, take-up reel, paper loading method, whether it can take one or two rolls of paper, is capable of a 3" core, connectivity, software and security features, scanning capabilities, table/stand and office design, cut sheet tray, and how eco-friendly is it.
Speed where it counts
When you experience tight or sudden deadlines, you'll want to understand your printer's efficiencies. How quickly does it process a complex job and free up your workstation? How long until the first page out, or to print an Arch D, and how much can be printed in an hour?
Looking for Your Perfect Workstation?
Search for workstation laptops and desktops, and the monitors and accessories to complete your set up.
