Wide-format Color Printers--Riding the (Tidal) Wave of Profits

Michael Type & Graphics, of Media, PA, started out with a 36˝ LaserMaster in 1995, bought an identical unit in '96, then installed a 62˝ ColorSpan (formerly LaserMaster) DisplayMaker last fall.

"It took us a year to decide on our first wide-format printer," recalls General Manager Jim Stockman. "Our second one was installed in 24 hours. The 62˝ was making money before the lease was even signed."
