For our athletics competition, we would like to print out diplomas immediately after the event. Which printers can we use for this? Sometimes very large numbers of competitors are involved, as many as 700, and they need to get their diplomas as quickly as possible.

Diplomas are fun for children and they usually love getting their diploma immediately after the competition. In principle, you can use any printer to print out diplomas from Athletics.app. We advise you to try this out before the competition. Print a number of diplomas in a row and time them with a stopwatch to calculate how long it would take to print out all the competitors' diplomas.

Not fast enough? We can print 350 diplomas in 5 minutes! This way you can be sure to give the children their diplomas immediately after the ceremony. The printer we use and recommend is: HP Officejet Pro X551dw. At the moment (29-09-2016) this printer costs approx. 260-300 euros to purchase, including VAT.

Tip about this printer: Set the print quality to 'General Office'. This is the 'worst' quality, but for printing black and white text on a diploma, this will look perfect. This will give you the highest print speed with this printer, namely 70 pages per minute. Otherwise, you will only print at 42 pages per minute.

 

UPDATE (2017-02-16): The recommended printer appears to be difficult to obtain because it is an outdated model. Possible comparable models are:
