What a daft thing to say. I work in a bureau running Large Format and Digital Printers. On the large format side, 75% of our output is onto paper. I don't understand why it's so hard to believe that paper could be useful - who the hell do you think prints all of those short-run posters, point of sale boards et al for retail or exhibitions. Our standard stock on the indoor ink machine is a 170gsm Acura matt paper.
This machine would be an absolute godsend for the large format market. No more waiting an hour for that 10m banner to finish printing, now you just have to a wait a couple of minutes before chaanging substrates to run some backlit posters!!!
Can't wait for it to become available. Perhaps a built-in trimmer would be useful as that's the major bottleneck in large format print work. Or maybe just a sheet-fed machine (rather than rollfed) for standard paper sizes A2/A1/A0.
