large format printing : Confused about which large format printer to buy for your particular needs?

Bowling Green State University and Professor Nicholas Hellmuth work hard to provide pertinent information based on real-life testing of 23 in-house wide format printers.

FLAAR conducts independent product testing. It provides evaluations and comparative reviews of large format inkjet printers, inkjet media, canvas, vinyl, and photo paper, pigmented archival inks for fine art giclee printers, and the new bio-solvent for large format outdoor signs, color management ICC profiles, and everything involved in the large format inkjet printing process, including input via scanners and digital cameras.

If you are starting a new large format inkjet printing business, or need any information about large format printers, send an e-mail via our Inquiry Form to the Digital Imaging Resource Center. The staff at FLAAR will send back up to 6 first-level reports, at no cost, within 48 hours.

The professors and graduate assistants at Bowling Green State University, where FLAAR is located, are busy testing equipment, RIPs, and inkjet paper in order to provide public education in large format printers, scanners, and digital photography equipment. They have already used 23 printers in-house. We have site-visit case studies of Roland, Mutoh Falcon, Seiko ColorPainter 64S, ColorSpan 72S. As a result of our experiences and notes taken in sign shops that use UV, eco-solvent, and solvent printers, be wary of lite-solvent or retro-fitted piezo printers with a solvent system added. For more information consult Dr. Hellmuth's penetrating report on eco-solvent ink printers.
