This print shop owner has a Roland and a ColorSpan. Sure makes it easy to compare pros and cons of each.

When we interview people who actually have to put up with the quirks of a printer in real life then we learn quickly about that these printers are really like.

So this sign shop owner reported the unpleasant reality of having clients needing their work while his printer was down waiting for new piezo printheads.

To replace what ads and sales reps and tradeshow booth people claim are permanent printheads.
