I'll have to check that one out (the price range I've looked at is anywhere from $10k up to $100k, just so you know). I'm trying to give them enough ideas so that no one can say that "well, we should've spent more time on it" like they did the last time they bought the Arizona printer. Problem is, for the workload that we have and are forecasting, a lot of the more expensive machines (while great) would require more maintenance and workload than we are going to be able to give it at this time.

The basic goals in mind for this printer are to start getting the 1-2 banner orders that we're subbing out back in house, and to get the marketing people excited about selling the digital banners again (would YOU be excited about selling a product that you have to sub out?). Then, after a couple years when both those needs have been addressed and the workflow is there, then we will look at a bigger printer for the longer run.
