Fifty years ago - yes. I'm still in business! I ran a purpose built plotter with pens that needed to be filled with Indian ink and cleaned out afterwards) to record pulses from probes that were fed deep into the ground by putting them down artesian bores. The humidity was always in the 5% to 15%...

I would recommend an A3 capable Xerox printer. We have two 'Docuprint C2255' Xerox lasers. We bought them ex-demo with less than 500 page count and bought maintenance contracts with them. Service and toner is free. We pay 5¢ per A4 page for black and 15¢ for colour. Double that for SRA3 or A3...

Moab is an expensive but high grade paper that has some attractive papers for your needs. You might also try Hahnemühle papers sold by HP. But I guess you've tried all of these before posting here. Good luck, AJ

Many People would just love to do what you are trying to do. Most of them have wasted a lot of time and money trying to achieve it to. The problem is in the nature of how an inkjet printer produces an image on paper, not how good an image it can produce for its designed purpose. Liquid Ink...

Quite apart from the space this monster is going to need, special foundations are required to prevent the components from moving. Just a 1/4" twist between each module is enough to damage the press. Been there done that and don't intend to do it again. If you seriously intend to build a business...

Very sad that to get black (in the RGB color space) it is created from the three primaries and then carried in the green channel. It's the same with Photoshop or any document created in the RGB color space. Going straight to save as PDF you'll get the 3 primaries making black. You only need to...

The Primo solution will work on simple documents but like most "imitation" PDF applications, the final result is often unpredictable. Someone told me many years ago that no 'serious' document designer uses Publisher. Like most Microsoft things from the early days of Windows, Publisher went out...

I haven't any in depth knowledge of these printers but I know HP printers in general are almost always more economical with ink than any other brand. I suspect this is because of their unique print head system and don't need to flush the heads every time you start a job.

Measuring the life of a print head by how much paper it prints on is like sitting in a saddle while waiting for the horse to come. The meaningful measurement can only be by ink quantity. One of my iPF8100 Canon printers has just killed it's left print-head. SO far this printer has used eight of...

Be wary of costing your prints like this. The density of ink multiplied by how many colors you are using cannot easily be quantified. I allow a little less than a buck a square foot for archival prints on rag paper. That's for a iPF 8100 Canon 12 color, 44" printer. Maybe multiply that by 3 or 4...

Describing Giclée Prints Giclée is french for "squirt" or "Spray". Some say in the 16th century it was used to describe female urination. The original use of the word for printing was when the first printer that used tanks rotating around a drum with rag stretched over it actually produced...

One of Australia's most renown fine art printers who has four or five Canon 60" printers and a few Epson's only ever uses non-genuine ink in his Epson printers. It should be notable that he only used Genuine Canon ink as do I, in his iPF printers. I'm not sure if it's kama to mention sources...

I agree 100 %. Better solution is to find someone with a Roland Eco Sol solvent printer or (better still) someone with a fairly new HP latex printer and have them print the material for you. The best you'll get from pigment ink on (cold) laminated Poly Propylene is 9 months. From then on you'll...

Not sure if this is going to get you in time but the 3880 is expensive to run. they have fairly small ink tanks. The 4880 Pro Epson uses the same tanks as the 60" printer does. They are much cheaper than buying small tanks for a desktop printer and you get up to 17" wide printing from them...

HP 130 was the first "desktop" wide format printer on the market. It had several problems that don't seem to have been fixed in later versions of it. The most significant is paper feed. Unless you purchase the NR model at a hugely higher price, you can't use rolls of media unless you are handy...
