Toner Plan Printers

[TradeGraphicDesign]

Hi All,

I have an application in mind, customer needs prints (wide format) so up to A1 maybe A0 size.
But, the prints need to be a Toner Based print, rather than inkjet.

I have memories of these bits of kit been pretty popular a years back, they were toner based wide format machines, super fast, not as good quality as the inkjet machines, but decent for Architectural plans, and less 'quality' driven posters.

I was after any recommendations. I think HP and Xerox, OCE used to do something in this area.

Im based in the UK, i'd really appreciate any steers / avoids please

Thanks in advance

Tim

Most manufacturers have moved entirely to inkjet for large format. The Canon Plotwave is the only on I know of still using toner

Anyone have any experience with the above? 'TonerPearls'- sounds like toner to me, but I just wondered if this is manufacturer speak for something else, the head array looks like inkjet

Years ago Canon used our shop to do an open house, so they installed a Colorwave and let us use it for free for about a month. The prints were nice and crisp, and it printed insanely fast. It's super low melt toner, so you can't hot laminate (or couldn't at the time), and it doesn't work on all stocks, but it was super cool and easy to use.

Canon bought out OCE several years back, so the Canon series that Magnus pointed you to is what they are available as now. You might be thinking of KIP, which is still around, producing wide-format toner digital printers. They have black & white units, along with full color units. Ricoh still sells a line of toner based wide format printers here. HP only sells inkjet based wide-format printers. They have the slower T-series, and the high-speed PageWide XL series.

Why do your prints need to be toner based?

Thanks for the heads up, yes! I remember them, KIP!!
The application is for Decoupage on furniture, for crafters. They prefer the finish from a toner system, you get a much better-defined print. Then the print is varnished to give it some longevity.

Just doing some prints for a local crafter, and was wondering about doing something with this.

Anyone with a KIP, could be a decent side line, if the plan printing was on the slide.

Thanks again for your advice.
