$15.00

Ink-Jet printers are becoming steadily more easy to use and more flexible. During the last year the most notable advances have been the wide adoption of automatic start and stop features, which mean that many printers now need attention only weekly rather than daily as was previously the case. Solvent consumption has reduced, too, and there have been advances in printing speed, especially for multiline printing.Inks continue to improve: white inks have got a bit whiter, and the move towards environmentally safe inks is gathering momentum with replacements for MEK.
