We visited the Rexam Graphics booth at several trade shows. It makes a difference to deal with a substantial company who has been around, and will stand the test of time. Rexam Graphics, 1 800-628-8604, outside USA call (770) 980-7120, fax 1 781 681-5055 www.rexamgraphics.com and/or www.rexamimageproducts.com What can you use your wide format prints for? In addition to banners, posters, enlargements of photographs, and murals you can create backlit signs, trade show displays, and point-of-purchase (POP) advertising. The places that purchased wide format printers initially were sign shops, print shops, copy centers, and digital photographers. Once the world got out about the potential of these wide format printers, then in-house graphics departments wanted a wide format printer for themselves. You can even do fleet graphics (vehicle graphics such as wrapping buses and delivery vans with a public relations message and large logo). Prepress shops and service bureaus even use wide format printers for comps and proofs. The Rexam media just arrived a week before we moved our test center from Florida to Missouri and so we will post the results subsequently. Presently the Rexam media is together with our Encad wide format printer, en route to Guatemala to our new test-and-product-review center. |

Our test center
sought out the four or five leading providers of ink-jet media
for review. Where possible we met the product managers at trade
shows so we could know the people behind the product.
