Evaluating Wide-format Printers

Solvent printers are more expensive and do require proper ventilation to remove the VOC solvents released by the inks. Some printers are designed to be able to print directly onto stiff, flat surfaces. These “flatbed” printers are used extensively for signage applications. Prices for these printers can range from $10,000 to over $100,000 for more industrial-strength versions.
