T930

Does anyone use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for their wide format printers.

Ive been out to the office a few times in the morning and we must have had a power cut, printers needed to be turned on.

It will be for my T930 and epson p8000, which both draw about 200w, I was looking for a 400w ish one.

Normally not, definitely not on laser devices due to inrush current requirements. I would suggest you look at something like an this https://www.amazon.ca/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BX1000M/dp/B06VY12HW4/ref=asc_df_B06VY12HW4/?ta...

They are both inkjet printers.

That was the APC UPS the I was looking at.
