Gotta Go - Gotta See Opportunities at PRINT 13 (Commentary)

Any print equipment, but particularly inkjet wide-format that is powered by Memjet utilizing single pass imaging enabling high-speed output which is the analysts’ top ‘gotta see.’ This would include wide-format entries by Xanté, who showed a machine at last year’s GRAPH EXPO, and recently announced printers by Océ with the Color Wave 900, and Xerox’s IJP2000. This new generation of wide-format equipment prints by moving substrate past a stationary 42˝ wide series of imaging heads, i.e., a single-pass process. This supplants the much slower printers with one or two heads that traverse across the sheet a line or two at a time, i.e., a multiple pass process.
