This report has not been licensed to any printer manufacturer, distributor, dealer, sales rep, RIP company, media or ink company to distribute. So if you obtained this from any company, other than FLAAR itself, you have a pirated copy.

Also, since some reports are occasionally updated, if you got your version from somewhere else, it may be an obsolete edition. FLAAR reports are being updated all year long, and our comment on that product may have been revised positively or negatively as we learned more about the product form end users.

PLEASE NOTE

To obtain a legitimate copy, which you know is the complete report with nothing erased or changed, and hence a report with all the original description of pros and cons, please obtain your original and full report straight from www.large-format-printers.org.or other web sites in our network such as www.wide-format-printers.NET.

Your only assurance that you have a complete and authentic evaluation which describes all aspects of the product under consideration, benefits as well as deficiencies, is to obtain these reports directly from FLAAR, via the various sites in our network.

ISA Las VegasHoneycomb sandwich board material

There are more than eight different brands of honeycomb sandwich material. Each manufacturer has a preferred structure. In order to eventually produce an evaluation we would need to visit the factory and then an end-user.

ISA Las VegasFlatbed Cutters

We know the capable distributor for MultiCam in Bogata, Columbia and see the MultiCam brand at many expos (but we have not yet evaluated their recent models).

There are several hundred models of CNC routers and CO2 laser en-gravers in China. Of these only a few percent are sturdy enough for distributors to risk selling them in USA, Europe, Middle East, etc.

The two models here (in the booth of ess) are one of the brands of flatbed cutters in China which we may consider evaluating (which requires a factory visit and then an inspecting of the cutters out in the real world in a print shop).
