Making a Printer Choice

Welcome to the 2012-2013 Printer Sourcebook, from the editors of The Big Picture
magazine.
A print shops livelihood relies heavily on its roster of in-house machines. With more
than 200 wide-format printers on the market, however, making a purchase decision
for a new printer is no easy task. Yes, buyers often appreciate a variety of options, but
too many choices can lead to chaos and increase the risk of making a buying mistake.
Its not like a trip to the grocery store, after all you dont have the luxury of rolling
your cart down an aisle that features all the printer options in one place, allowing you
to conveniently compare size, prices, and quality of machines. Yes, you can wait until
the next big tradeshow or take the time to visit various manufacturers showrooms, but
its important that youre first aware of all the options available to you.
The Big Picture is here to help. To save you the hassle of gathering all the details on the
printers that are out there, weve assembled comprehensive specs on rollfed, flatbed,
and hybrid printers across the marketplace, as well as RIPs, and provide them here.
Our 2012-2013 Printer Sourcebook comprises three separate sections:

Rollfed printers: This section, Decision Time Rollfed Printers, charts nearly 150
printers from 22 manufacturers around the marketplace.
Flatbeds and hybrid printers: Titled Flatbeds Forever, the second section includes
specs on more than 90 flatbed and hybrid printers, for those shops that need more
production-oriented or special-use machines.
RIPs: Finally, in Destination RIPS, we supply data on nearly 50 third-party sources
for RIPs.
In the two printer charts, we provide an array of specifications 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 fits your shops needs.
Note: This information is excerpted from the June, July, and August 2012 issues of The
Big Picture and may not reflect machines or RIPs that were introduced and/or modied 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 manufacturers website.

Decision Time:
Rollfed Printers
Detailed specifications on 148 wide-format machines.
In life, we face several milestone decisions that lead to investments that can have a significant eect on our financial
futures: Which college to attend? Which career path to
choose? Which home to buy? And for print providers: Which
wide-format printers to purchase?
Investing in an exemplary rollfed machine can mean the
dierence between producing incredible graphics on time to
outputting mediocre work and perhaps missing a deadline.
In an ideal world, when making a printer-buying decision
youd be able to test drive every rollfed on the market, but
lets face it, ample research coupled with knowledge of
your customers needs (current and future) as well as a bit
of gut instinct oftentimes has to suce. With the tremendous number of wide-format printers available, you need a
starting point to identify the printers most suited to your
workflow and production needs.
Enter The Big Pictures annual rollfed printer charts. On
the pages that follow are specifications and data for nearly
150 rollfed printer models. With the information here, youll
be able to quickly pinpoint some machines of interest and
then begin to move onto the next stage of your selection process. Note: Keep in mind that this months charts comprise
only rollfed printers; well feature flatbed and hybrid printers
in our August issue.
Trends and specs

Twenty-two companies responded to our requests for information on their rollfed printers this year. Some trends to
keep in mind when looking over the specs:
New introductions: Of the 148 printers listed here, 50 were
introduced in 2011 or 2012. 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: Nearly 30 rollfed printers indicated
here utilize UV-curing technologies, which is slightly higher

than last year but more than double the number indicated in
our 2008 rollfed report.
A solvent slice of the printer pie: Since 2008, the number of
true solvent rollfeds featured in our charts has decreased by
52%. But, in the last three years, the number of solvent machines has remained relatively steady. As for mild solvents
(aka eco- or low-solvent, etc.), this segment has continued to
grow each year with nearly a 25% upswing since 2008. This
year, nearly 30% of all machines fall into the solvent/mildsolvent category.
The color of money: Close to half (47%) of all rollfed printers you see here are oering something beyond standard
CMYK or CMYKcm inksets. And about 15% of the printers
here are making white ink available, which can lead to more
profits 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 years charts, here are the specs
youll see noted:
Company and website: Weve listed the manufacturing
company rather than the distributor. If a company has an
exclusive US distributor, weve listed that information in the
Notes area. In the case of companies listing printers from
two dierent divisions or two dierent nameplates, weve
typically combined these under the single company name.
Printer model: Weve generally combined models if the
only dierence between them is maximum media width or
number of colors oered (a few exceptions were made for
space purposes).
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 rolland sheetfed printers can accommodate thicker media (or
have a flatbed option/module), we have added this spec for
your convenience. Its listed in millimeters or inches.
Media: What kind of media will the printer handle
roll, sheet, rigid? For this months charts, we have not
included printers that are tagged as hybrids or primarily
flatbeds; 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 printers,
weve indicated this with an n/a.
Ink types accepted: Aqueous dye? Aqueous pigmented?
Solvent? Mild Solvent? UV-curable? Oil-based? Sublimation?
Other?
Minimum true resolution: What is the minimum true
resolution in dots per inch (dpi)?
Maximum true resolution: What is the maximum true
resolution in dpi?
Maximum speed at a specic resolution: What is the
printers 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 specic resolution: What is the
speed (square feet/hour) 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 standard with the printer, if any? If not standard, what optional
RIPs are available?
Year Intro: What year was this particular printer model
introduced?
Price: Whats the selling price of this printer in US
dollars? Many companies do not answer this; we provided
where available.
Warranty: How long is the warranty period?

On-site Service Contract: Whats 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 information was provided by the manufacturers/suppliers. We asked
for specs only on currently available printers or printers 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
specific niche applications or markets.
Too, some manufacturers did not provide information on
newly released printers; in addition, some manufacturers
chose to not include models that seemed to still be on the
market and we honored these requests. And note that some
printer manufacturers were unable to reply to our requests
for information due to deadline constraints, so these companies and their printers were not included.
Prefer your data in digital format? A reminder here
about our annual Printer Sourcebook, which combines
these charts with our upcoming August-issue flatbed/hybrid charts and does so in digital PDF format. Well publish
the Sourcebook in early autumn and post to bigpicture.net

FLATBEDS
FOREVER
Specs on more than 90 flatbed and hybrid printers.
For many shops, the atbed has become the go-to device of
our industry for a variety of applications. Yes, the rollfed
printer still has its place at the output table and some
would argue it still sits at the head of that table but the
flatbed and its hybrid cousin have been slowly but surely
elbowing their way to more and more of the meals prime
cuts in recent years.
The flatbeds popularity has surged because manufacturers have bolstered the machines with additional
capabilities increased speed, broader color gamuts, and
improved ink technologies, superior resolutions, and so
on. As a result, more can be done with flatbeds and hybrids
than ever before.
To help you in selecting your next flatbed or hybrid printer, weve collected comprehensive specifications on more
than 90 machines from nearly 30 printer manufacturers,
and present them here. Consider these specs a good starting point in your hardware quest. Some notes on the data:
Company: Weve listed the manufacturer; if a company
has an exclusive US distributor, weve listed that information in the Notes section.
Printer model: Models are often combined if the only
dierence between them is media width or colors.
Maximum media width (in inches): Media width, not
image width; minimum is 24 inches.
Maximum media thickness: In millimeters or inches.
Media: What kind of media will the printer handle is
there a roll option?
Printhead technology: Most machines are inkjet piezo.
Colors: What inksets are supported?
Ink types accepted: Most atbeds/hybrids are UVcurable, some indicated aqueous or solvent.
Minimum/maximum resolution (true/apparent):
What is the minimum/maximum true/apparent resolution? We asked for both true and apparent resolution
specs; if a company provided both, weve listed as true/apparent in that order. If only one spec is listed, its typically
true resolution.
Maximum speed at a specic resolution: Whats the
printers fastest speed (sq ft/hr) and resolution (dpi)?
High-quality speed at a specic resolution: What is
the speed (sq ft/hr) and resolution (dpi) for high-quality
printing?
RIP: What RIP comes standard?
Year Introd: What year was the model introduced?
Price: Whats the selling price?
Warranty: How long is the printer warranted for?
On-site service contract: Whats the cost?
Training: Is training standard?
Notes: Additional information not included elsewhere.
Keep in mind that all information was provided by the
manufacturers/suppliers; you can often find additional
specs on their websites. We asked for specs only on currently available flatbeds and hybrids; see our July issue for
our coverage of rollfed machines. 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 appears online on
bigpicture.net in late autumn.

Destination
RIPs
Nearly 50 RIPs to help map your way to output.
Before the development of GPS and online mapping

services like MapQuest, we were often left to our own
devices when it came to traveling to unfamiliar destinations.
Which, for many, meant relying on that decade-old map in
the cars glove compartment that had creases so severe that
entire cities were sometimes obliterated. As a result, there
was often no guarantee that the route chosen would be the
most ecient, quickest, or most cost-eective or even get
us to our final destination. With more up-to-date technology,
however, were now directed every step of the way, warned
against possible bumps in the road, and even given an
estimate on cost.
Modern RIPs are a print providers MapQuest, helping
best route jobs through the output process. A quality RIP
can ensure optimal image quality, perform critical color
matches, and streamline workflow. Plus, continuing
advancements in RIPs have synched them to the latest print
technologies while also allowing them to perform functions
that were not previously part of the RIP universe, such as
monitoring the use of consumables.
To help you in selecting your best RIP, we asked RIP
suppliers to provide us with information on each RIP model
and each models features. For purposes of the charts on the
pages that follow, weve 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 manufacturers 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.
This year, weve updated our chart features to include:
white and metallic ink support, G7 support, step and repeat,
hot folders, Web-browser interface, consumables savings
and tracking capabilities, cutting options, and more.
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
manufacturer specs.
We list 26 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 oered.
Printers and le formats supported: In the interest of
space, we list only the number of printers the RIP supports;
see the RIP companys website for complete information.
This is also true for file formats.
We list a price when provided by the RIP supplier
(most did so).
The Notes section contains additional information
not included elsewhere in the charts.
Finally, keep in mind that these charts are designed to
be a staging area for your RIP research. Your next best step
is to contact the RIP manufacturer/supplier to see how a
specific RIP might best suit your individual operation and
needs.
