Title

MacDermid ColorSpan Inc. - High resolution large format and wide format inkjet color printers.

Description

MacDermid ColorSpan is a leader in the development, manufacturing and marketing of production-oriented digital wide-format inkjet printers. MacDermid ColorSpan offers a range of printers that are designed to benefit small to mid-size sign making and screen printing companies.

Since its inception in 1985, the company has created technology-based products that use alternative, environmental-friendly methods for producing high quality printed documents and images. Early products included controller boards that increased the resolution and speed of common desktop laser printers for the production of typeset masters. Complete plain-paper typesetters followed these with resolutions up to 1800-dpi. Next, the company's PressMate imagesetter used a heat-activated imagesetting film that eliminated the need for photo-chemical processing. In 1993, MacDermid ColorSpan created the wide-format graphic color inkjet market with the introduction of the DisplayMaker printer. The original DisplayMaker has since evolved with many innovative industry firsts that have set the standards for digital printing quality and performance. Some examples include Big Ink Delivery Systems, use of eight and twelve color ink sets and the integration of an on-board camera to enable automatic jet substitution and calibration.

Today's products include the DisplayMaker 72SI and 98SI solvent inkjet printers that feature speed (up to 700 sf/h), award-winning 600-dpi print quality and low production costs (12-14 cents / sf). These 72" and 98" -wide printers are ideal for sign and banner shops producing large volumes of indoor and outdoor graphics. Last year MacDermid ColorSpan introduced the DisplayMaker 72UVR, which became the first commercially successful UV-curable wide-format inkjet printer under $100,000. With its ability to print directly on nearly any rigid substrate, it can save customers considerable time and money compared to traditional methods of printing to an intermediate material and mounting it to a rigid substrate. As a result, the DisplayMaker 72UVR quickly became the fastest selling UV inkjet printer in the world. Two new UV printers recently joined the 72UVR, the DisplayMaker 72UVX and 98UVX. At 72 inches and 98 inches, they add faster printing speeds and the ability to print on thicker materials.
