I've written before about ink safety for this publication on a number of previous occasions. But ink safety is such an important issue, it seemed to me to be a good time for an update and overview.

Ink and printer manufacturers have addressed some of the issues and claim to have cleaner, less hazardous inks today. Are they safe? How do you know what the hazards are? In this article we will provide an overview of the issues that remain and should be considered when buying and using ink jet technology.

Remember when the best thing about wide-format printing was that it was big? The task of slapping a logo on a banner or an ad on a poster will always fall to someone, but in 2017, those are no longer the jobs that showcase what digital can really do. The best thing about wide-format today is the ability to print someone special, and there's a whole new pool of end users who are beginning to pay attention.
