Large Format Printer Reviews

To keep up to date in the world of Large Format printers it helps to subscribe to key trade publications. These magazines cover the major large format printers, provide reviews, and product comparisons.

It is a real plus when a trade magazine does more than just repeat the PR releases that are the same as on that company's web site. Thus I give high marks to The Big Picture magazine because their editor is aware that people want more reviews from independent sources.

More than 48,000 professional designers and people interested in related fields read THE BIG PICTURE magazine. There are so many trade publications it is good to know which ones are worthwhile. The Big Picture is definitely a magazine worth subscribing to and reading.
