Kip Color 80 - Inexpensive Posters and more…

Monday, June 15th, 2009

There’s a lot of buzz going around about the Kip Color 80. The first wide format color laser printer. So we decided to get some video of it and let everyone see it in action. This machine really is a work horse. We recently ran it 72 hrs straight only stopping to add paper and toner. The Wide Format Company was the first in the Northwest to acquire this new technology and have since been doing color reprographics, map printing and poster printing for an amazingly low price.

This is the ideal machine for short runs and quick turnaround. A 24”x36” full color poster is about $7. Need some posters for the front windows of your store? Need real estate posters to put in the windows of your property? This is the solution for you.
