Wide-Format Ink-Jet — Digital Printing Goes Flat

UV ink-jet technology dominates this product category because of the substrate flexibility it affords and the quick “drying” via UV curing. The focus on productivity is also reflected in many of the devices being CMYK printers, rather than the up to 12-color or more configurations available with roll-to-roll models. Some are dedicated flatbed machines for rigid materials, while others offer an optional roll-to-roll unit that can require repositioning the imaging unit to use.
