Every year there are more manufacturers entering the market, more devices offered by each manufacturer and more options available for each device. At the end of the day, the challenge is to choose the right tool for the job.
But that’s not the end of the story, because when you can completely change the way you put ink on paper – what is the job? Do you keep doing what you do – or do you strive for something better, something more sustainable, something more profitable?
