large format printing : 2006 brings unprecedented changes to the wide format printer industry

New this month is the start of FLAAR Reports on bio-solvent ink, made from corn. We have articles already in press and a brief notice on this website. Corn-based lactate solvent ink was a bit hit at ISA 2006.

We are also adding coverage of Staedtler’s innovative Lumocolor ink, that prints on uncoated paper (literally on the lowest cost ordinary paper, such as brown Kraft paper, cardboard, as well as all signage materials).

We are adding a dozen updates to UV-cured ink flatbed printer reports.

Get a hold of our “Quick Peek…What’s New for 2006” with prognostics on what is left of Encad and whether this hard-working company (under Kodak) will survive two bulldozers heading for each other at full steam: the two industry titans are both preparing new products for 2006; all will be fabulous printers. Will there be any market share left for Encad, Kodak, or Xerox at all? Just ask for Quick Peek when you fill out the Survey Form.

The new printers that were shown at PMA ’06, Graphics of the Americas ’06 and ISA ’06, such as the Mimaki JV5 and Roland AJ-1000, are unprecedented in the history of inkjet printing. No year of fabulous technology launches has happened before to this degree. Additional printers will be introduced at SGIA 2006.

When you fill out the request form for free reports, if you are from industry (manufacturer, distributor, dealer) just say so clearly; we still send the free reports, to everyone who asks appropriately. This is not like filling out a trade magazine card: you don’t have to fake how many people work in your company.

If you are an end-user, whether you already own a printer, or have not yet bought your first inkjet printer. Either way; you will each receive as many free reports as you ask for.
