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 NoteTo 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.

The printer exhibited at Sign Istanbul did not have the usual covering structure on, nor was there information available in the booth; so we do not know whether this is a new PARS model. The data presented is the same from their website.
