Big Prints, Big Benefits

Slow...But Good

One thing wide-format ink-jet printers are not is fast. Good quality prints can take about 15 minutes. Still, this is quicker than sending the job outside.

Sutherland says that his shop's printer is capable of producing at three speeds, "fast, normal and best."

"Our folks zeroed in on this one because of its speed," he notes. "A typical 30x40˝ print will image in approximately eight minutes at normal mode [300 dpi], and 12 to 15 minutes at best mode [600 dpi]."
