There are now over 63 different models of UV-curing wide-format inkjet printers from more than 22 different manufacturers. This presentation will assist you to make clever decisions in which way to move in this constantly changing technology. The author will document this comprehensive presentation on trends in solvent and UV-curing printer based on his site-visit case studies of print shops as well as visits to five factories that manufacture UV-cured inkjet printers. You will receive information not available elsewhere, which is what you expect from the FLAAR Reports. Questions will be encouraged and the speaker will be glad to discuss solvent and UV printers with you during question-and-answers.

Reprographic shops that want to continue to transition into digital
Individuals within the industry
Students as well as faculty associated with print management programs

The even more considerable advances that will happen in 2008
New printheads, better ink adhesion, wider gamut, improved UV lamps
The crucial question of whether to "buy now" or "wait for the ultimate technology"
