After Market Performance Upgrades

PrinterEvolution (Booth 2192) will demonstrate its after market performance upgrades for grand-format printers. These unprecedented upgrades are designed to take a quality chassis and bring it to specs that outperform the most expensive industrial printers on the market today, for less than $200,000. Now business owners can leverage their original investment and at the same time be truly “green” by recycling their old printers and using a choice of ink options, all of which are greener than the original inks being used in their current printer. PrinterEvolution products are distributed exclusively in the US by Global Imaging.

PrinterEvolution products include

Evo33 Printer (can be configured with AquaSub33 water-based dye sublimation ink or LoSol33 bio-solvent ink)
