From long-term building-sized banners to promotional

From long-term building-sized banners to promotional vehicle graphics, large format printing for outdoor applications is a booming trend. Leading manufacturers are launching printers for various different production uses. Some commercial graphics and sign laser engraving machine need high volume machines with all the bells and whistles, while others need more affordable or lower volume options.

In part one of this series we examined eco-solvent ink options. In this second of three articles we will look at the machines that use those cnc router inks, what they have to offer and what other signmakers are saying about them.
