Now this is something different. If you’ve never seen one, I present you with a review of a plotter (which is what I call a printer that can print at least on an A1 format paper or roll). Technically, it is a printer, but it can print vector images too (I might add it is very good at that). But if you’re not an engineer, you wouldn’t care about that, so let’s see what it can do for you in terms of photo printing:

With the HP Z2100 (the video shows the 24 inch wide model, but there is a 44 inch model with the same name and parameters, even visually they’re the same) you can print photos, portraits (on canvas) and banners as wide as 24in/60cm (and 44in/110cm for the 44 inch model, respectively) and as long as you want (I know for sure the old DesignJet’s maximum allowed roll length was 72 meters or 236 feet!) with a maximum resolution of 2400×1200, which is ecellent for this scale.

Moreover, the Z2100 has an embedded spectrophotometer, which helps you check and adjust the color output to exactly what you want (you know, when you want to print a skin tone as natural as possible and the printer will get it darker, ligher, oversaturated or otherwise wrong), so no more wasted ink and paper on bad photos.

Anyway check the video to hear and see more:
