This 74-page guide covers all the basic information someone wanting to enter the exploding Digital Wide Format Printing field needs to know, or for anyone just wanting to learn more about it and its rapidly evolving technologies.

It's more helpful than I could have imagined. I have 23 years in signs and I thought I couldn't be told much that was "new", but your book has helped bring some cohesiveness to my understanding of these printers.

From the introduction:

"Whether you are considering buying or have recently bought a wide format digital printer or just want to learn what it’s all about, this book is for you. It covers the major printing technologies, printing, hardware, software, ink, and media basics, color management, and a general introductory buyer’s guide.

There are tremendous differences between a wide format printer and the desktop model you are used to using, even though the technology is very similar or even almost identical in some cases. Making the assumption that wide format printing is as simple as desktop printing is one of the most common mistakes made by first time buyers, because there are going to be ink issues, media issues, hardware issues, software issues and more.

Getting consistent and sellable output is the ideal, but initially it is likely to be an exasperating challenge. But it’s not all bad news! If you learn how to operate it well, it can earn you a lot of money and this book will provide the basics you need to know before going into it and some of the challenges you will face.

"I have talked with hundreds of people over the past few years that spent anywhere from $5,000 to over $50,000 on a wide format digital printer without having a thorough understanding of the type of printer technology they needed, or more fundamentally, the technical expertise required to produce any sellable output, much less consistently sellable output." (cont.)

We have found the level of competition has changed - as have most businesses - and that we need to really know what to do to make all of it work - and your book helps with that.

That said, I found your book a great source for some of the problems that can/may arise in relation to color correctness.... We do not wish to be one
of the unhappy printer owners.
