THE BIG PICTURE PRINTER SOURCEBOOK 2011-2012

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Printer Sourcebook, from the editors of The Big Picturemagazine.

Considering adding a new wide-format printer for your business? Or perhaps you’ve already decided that it’s time to bring some new “iron” to the shop fl oor and now you’re in the selection phase of the process?

In both cases, shops are discovering that the process of fi nding and deciding upon a printer can be daunting. With more than 200 wide-format printers on the market from 30 companies, getting a handle on which particular model would be best for your particular business is a bit like peering down the never-ending shampoo aisle at your local megamarket: Every choice might look appealing, but you can’t possibly buy them all. So which is the best one for your operation?

To help you in your printer quest, we provide you with our 2011-2012 Printer Source-book. Here, we’ve assembled comprehensive specs on rollfed and fl atbed printers as well as RIPs and provide them in chart form. The Printer Sourcebook comprises three separate sections:

• Rollfed printers: This section, “Roll Call,” charts 130 printers from 23 manufacturers around the marketplace.

• Flatbeds and hybrid printers: Titled “Navigating a Flat Landscape,” this section in-cludes specs on 70 fl atbed and hybrid printers, for those shops that need more produc-tion-oriented or special-use machines.

• RIPs: Finally, in “Finding Your Optimal RIP,” we supply you with data on 50 third-party sources for RIPs.

In the two printer sections, we provide an array of specifi cations for each machine. The specs – ranging from printhead technology, ink type, and speed to RIP technology, price, year introduced, and much more – will allow you to establish a starting point in your search for the printer that best fi ts your shop’s needs.

Note: This information is excerpted from the June, July, and August 2011 issues of The Big Picture and may not refl ect machines or RIPs that were introduced and/or modi-fi ed since those publication dates. For the very latest news on the newest printers and RIPs, visit bigpicture.net (where you can subscribe to our twice-monthly DigitalEdge newsletter), and each manufacturer’s website.

THE BIG PICTURE PRINTER SOURCEBOOK 2011-2012

In a recent survey at the ISA Expo by the International Sign Association and InfoTrends (see pg 35), nearly 75 percent of print-shop CEOs indicated they would be investing in new equipment in the next 12 months. And a quarter of those planning on an investment said a wide-format printer was at the top of their to-buy list.

So where do you start the search? Certainly, it’s impor-tant to attend shows like ISA Expo, SGIA Expo, and Graph Expo to get an initial look-see at a piece of equipment. Similarly, visiting a shop that already houses a machine you might have in mind can add some on-the-fl oor knowledge to your purchasing decision.

But in the beginning phase of the equipment-decision process, it’s critical to also get as many facts and fi gures in front of you as possible. Only then can you truly see the universe of printers, and begin weeding out those that probably do not work for your business – and focusing on those printers that will.

Enter The Big Picture’s annual rollfed printer charts. On the pages that follow are specifi cations and data of more than 130 rollfed printer models. With the information here, you’ll be able to quickly pinpoint some machines of interest and then begin to move onto the next stage of your selec-tion process. Note: Keep in mind that this month’s charts comprise only rollfed printers; we’ll feature fl atbed printers in our August issue.

Trends and specsTwenty-three companies responded to our requests for information on their rollfed printers this year, an increase from 2010. Some trends noted in looking over the specs you’ll fi nd on the pages that follow:

ROLL CALLNew introductions: Of the 130 printers listed here, 45

were introduced in 2010 or 2011. Or think of it this way: More than a third of all rollfed printers seen here are new introductions into the market, showing that manufacturers continue to listen and respond to print providers’ requests for additional features, improvements, and other changes.

UV holding steady: More than 20 rollfed printers utilize UV-curing technologies, which is about the same as last year but more than double the number indicated in 2008.

The color of money: Close to half (47%) of all rollfed printers you see here are off ering something beyond stan-dard CMYK or CMYKcm inksets. And about 20% of the printers are making white ink available. Both solutions can lead to more profi ts for print providers.

Wider choices: More than a quarter of all the rollfeds are now available in widths of 100 inches or more. Why print small and seam, the argument is, when you can simply go big from the get-go?

As you look over this year’s charts, here are the specs you’ll see noted:

• Company and website: We’ve listed the manufacturing company rather than the distributor. If a company has an exclusive US distributor, we’ve listed that information in the “Notes” area.

• Printer model: We’ve generally combined models if the only diff erence between them is maximum media width or number of colors off ered.

• Maximum media width (in inches): Note that this is media width, not image width – typically, image width will be 1 to 2 inches less than media width. Minimum here is 24 inches.

• Maximum media thickness: Since more and more roll-

www.bigpicture.net

and sheetfed printers can accommodate thicker media, we have added this spec for your convenience.

• Media: What kind of media will the printer handle – roll, sheet, rigid? For this month’s charts, we have not included printers that are tagged as hybrids or primarily fl atbeds; these will be covered in our August issue.

• Printhead technology: Inkjet piezo, inkjet thermal, photo imager/LED/laser, other?

• Colors: Which colors does the printer support? We did not include monochrome units. In the case of photo print-ers, we’ve indicated this with an “n/a.”

• Ink types accepted: Aqueous dye? Aqueous pig-mented? Solvent? Mild Solvent? UV Curable? Oil-based? Sublimation? Other?

• Minimum and maximum true/apparent resolution: What is the minimum true/apparent resolution in dots per inch (dpi)? Some manufacturers have provided just one spec here.

• Maximum speed at a specifi c resolution: What is the printer’s fastest speed (square feet/hr) and resolution (dpi)? Note that some manufacturers provided the speed but not the resolution; some have listed this in pages per minute.

• High-quality speed at a specifi c resolution: What is the speed (square feet/hr) and resolution (dpi) for high-quality printing? Again, some manufacturers provided the speed, but not the resolution.

• RIP: What type of raster image processor comes stan-dard with the printer, if any? If not standard, what optional RIPs are available?

• Year Intro: What year was this printer introduced? • Price: What’s the selling price of this printer? • Warranty: How long is the warranty period?

• On-site Service Contract: What’s the cost of an on-site service contract?

• Training: Is training standard with the purchase of the printer? Is it an option? If the latter, what is the cost?

• Notes: Additional information not covered in chart cells.

Seeking a digital version?As you go through the charts, keep in mind that all infor-mation was provided by the manufacturers/suppliers. We asked for specs only on currently available printers or print-ers that would soon be on the market.

In addition, we have strived to include only printers that currently have distribution in the US, which represents our core readership base. The majority of our readers tell us they would not typically consider buying a machine that does not have US distribution and/or service. Also note that we have included some badged machines that are based on other companies’ products; typically, these are geared toward specifi c niche applications or markets.

Too, some manufacturers did not provide information on newly released printers; in addition, some manufactur-ers chose to not include models that seemed to still be on the market and we honored these requests.

Prefer your data in digital format? A reminder here about our annual Printer Sourcebook, which combines these charts with our upcoming August-issue fl atbed/hybrid charts and does so in digital PDF format. We’ll publish the Sourcebook in early autumn and post to big-picture.net (look for announcements on the site as well as via Linked-In (linkedin.com/groups?gid=1823369), Twitter (twitter.com/bigpicturemag), and Facebook (facebook.com/thebigpicturemagazine).

THE BIG PICTURE PRINTER SOURCEBOOK 2011-2012

The Evolving FlatbedSpecs on 70 fl atbed and hybrid printers.

Flatbed and hybrid printers continue to evolve. Whether you’re talking speed, colors and ink technology, resolutions, or other features, these machines seem to add more capabilities every year, broadening what can be achieved with them.

But just as in having a dizzying array of choices when it comes to, say, energy bars at your local supermarket, there is a similar challenge in separating the wheat from the chaff when you must choose the best fl atbed and hybrid printer for your particular operation. Select the wrong machine for your shop and it may indeed become nothing more than a very budget-heavy doorstop.

To help you in selecting this not-inexpensive piece of equip-ment, we’ve collected comprehensive specifi cations on 70 fl atbed and hybrid machines from more than 20 printer manu-facturers, and present them on the pages that follow. Consider these a good starting point in your search for a new fl atbed/hy-brid printer. Some notes on the data you’ll fi nd here:

• Company: We’ve listed the manufacturing company; if a company has an exclusive US distributor, we’ve listed that infor-mation in the Notes section.

• Printer model: Models are often combined if the only diff erence between them is maximum media width or number of colors.

• Maximum media width (in inches): Media width, not im-age width; minimum is 24 inches.

• Maximum media thickness: Listed in millimeters or inches.• Media: What kind of media will the printer handle – is

there a roll option?• Printhead technology: All machines listed are inkjet piezo.• Colors: What inksets are supported?• Ink types accepted: Most fl atbeds/hybrids are UV-curable,

some indicated aqueous or solvent. • Minimum resolution (true/apparent): What is the mini-

mum true/apparent resolution? Note: We asked for both true and apparent resolution specs; most companies only provided true resolution numbers; if a company provided both, these fi gures are separated by a slash.

• Maximum resolution (true/apparent): What is the maxi-mum true/apparent resolution? Note: See above.

• Maximum speed at a specifi c resolution: What is the printer’s fastest speed (sq ft/hr) and resolution (dpi)? We noted “unspecifi ed dpi” if no resolution was indicated.

• High-quality speed at a specifi c resolution: What is the speed (sq ft/hr) and resolution (dpi) for high-quality printing? Again, we noted “unspecifi ed dpi” if no resolution was indicated.

• RIP: What type of RIP comes standard with the printer, if any? What RIPs are optional?

• Year Intro’d: What year was the model introduced?• Price: What is the selling price?• Warranty: How long is the printer warranted for?• On-site service contract: What’s the cost of an on-site

service contract?• Training: Is training standard or optional? • Notes: Additional information not included elsewhere.Keep in mind that all information was provided by the

manufacturers/suppliers; you can often fi nd additional specs on their respective websites. We asked for specs only on currently available fl atbeds and hybrids; see our July issue for our cover-age of rollfed machines. Some manufacturers did not provide information on newly released printers; in addition, some manufacturers chose not to include models that seemed to still be on the market and we honored these requests. Finally, keep in mind that these specs will be “re-issued” in digital form via our next Printer Sourcebook, which also adds rollfed printers and RIPs, and will appear online at bigpicture.net in late fall.

THE BIG PICTURE PRINTER SOURCEBOOK 2011-2012

Navigating a

RIP SolutionWouldn’t it be great if there were an actual “throughput highway” on-ramp that you could physically access from your shop? You’d never have workfl ow problems, color matching would be nearly automatic, and a plethora of challenges – such as image quality, variable data, and print-ing from various applications – would all but disappear. Alas, such an on-ramp only exists in the same fairy-tale land as the infamous pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

The right RIP choice, however, can get you pretty darn close to a thoroughfare that runs all but parallel to the aforementioned throughput highway. By utilizing a quality RIP in your operation, you’ll be better equipped to address all the production tasks and challenges your shop tackles on a daily basis. You’ll be able to improve your workfl ow, make your operation superbly effi cient, and likely take on not only more work but also more diverse types of jobs.

To help you in selecting a RIP, we asked RIP suppli-ers to provide us with information on each of their RIP models and each model’s features. For purposes of the charts on the pages that follow, we’ve limited this group to “third-party” RIPs – those RIPs typically purchased from a non-printer OEM – because these are generally engineered for more than one manufacturer’s printers. Various printer OEMs also produce (or have produced for them) RIPs for

their own machine models, and we certainly encourage shops to investigate all options when it comes to RIPs.

Keep these points in mind as you study the charts: • We only included RIP models that were geared toward

or could handle wide-format output, according to manufac-turer specs.

• We list 25 RIP features, and indicate if each feature is standard (S) or optional (O) on that particular RIP. If a cell is left blank, you can assume that the feature is not off ered.

• File formats supported: We designed this chart to be a staging area for your research into which RIP might best suit your individual operation, so we list only basic fi le formats handled, not every fi le format listed; see the supplier’s website for more information. Similarly, we did not list the printers that the RIP supports; again, see the supplier’s website.

• We list a price when provided by the RIP supplier (most did so).

Finally, we urge you to also check out the “Notes” sec-tion in the chart. Because our basic chart template is in its fi nal cycle, we suggested to RIP suppliers that they espe-cially provide information on additional and newer features here. We’ll be updating our chart template next year to accommodate many of these features as well.

Nearly 50 RIPs to help you onto a faster “throughput highway.”
