We currently have an Epson 9900 and 9600 that we use for printing signage for displays and they look amazing, but they are so vulnerable to scratches and scrapes. I used to think that the solvent printers were durable, but didn't have quality that was even in the same ballpark. Now I am scratching my head and wondering what the point of printers like ours is, considering that samples I have seen from the 10 color Epson Surecolor look good enough that our customers would never see a difference and it is able to print on cheaper material, while being super durable.
Now I can understand that some art aficionado might care about the added quality, but for our work and many others, the fact that the printed output doesn't have to be protected seems like a way to make more profit. Of course you will have to with the high initial costs, which I really can't understand.
So back to my original question...Is the Pigment printer just a niche product for fine art?
