Wide-format Output--The Bigger Picture

"As for software RIPs, the variety of RIPs available for the particular device and the ease of use of these RIPs make it easier for commercial printers to select total systems that fit their clients' needs."

Mark Radogna, senior product manager at Epson America, advises commercial printers to look closely at media flexibility when considering the move to a wide-format device. "The ability of a wide-format printer to run a wide variety of substrates and thicknesses, and to offer a strong level of photographic quality that rivals any traditional offset press technology, is a very important consideration for commercial printers," Radogna reveals.
