Spanish term or phrase: ¿Quieres aumentar tus cifras?
¿Quieres aumentar tus cifras?

This is an ad tag line. It is a double entendre.
1) Would you like to make more money? i.e. increase the bottom line
2) Would you like to be able to print larger?

It is an ad for an A3 page size printer, and they are saying that you can fit all of your data on a single sheet without reducing it to font size 4.

TIA!!

Want to up your numbers?


Explanation:
In the U.S. it is common to refer to one's sales statistics as "numbers". So, if your boss comes to you and says "you need to get your numbers up" you better "up your numbers" or you'll lose your job! It doesn't have quite the same double meaning as "cifras", but maybe it will get you on the right track. Suerte!
