Our own guides

XP600, I1600 or I3200, and how many heads

The head type and the number of heads set the speed. The pass count sets the quality. Pick both for the work you run most.

What a barebone printer includes

A barebone unit is the printer without the parts that change from shop to shop: the printhead, the RIP and the ink.

Choosing RIP software

The RIP sets colour, nesting and the print queue. Choose one your operator can learn, and check the head count it supports.

Printable vinyl and laminating film

Choose the film for where the print will live, then laminate anything that will be handled or left in the sun.
