I am thinking about getting a large format printer to get into the large format market but not looking to break the bank.
I presently have a 7880 which I use for internal proofing only. I came across the 9700 which is seems go after the CAD/Corporate type market. I saw samples at Drupa and it looked pretty good even for posters with images etc. The machine only uses about 5 inks so the gamut is smaller.
In comparison there is the 9890 which has more inks etc but is much slower. The 9700 seems to be about 3 times faster which is attractive if you get some longer poster runs.
Anybody have experience with the 9700 for posters containing vector graphics and photos?
