Who else has the experience to provide guidance on wide format inkjet printer selection to universities, colleges, high schools, and other institutions?

FLAAR is on the campus of BGSU and has its main office on the campus of Francisco Marroquin University (www.ctpid.ufm.edu).

Although we occupy 6,000 square feet at BGSU, and are the largest university-based wide format inkjet print shop in the world, you won’t find much about us on the BGSU web site because we have over 1000 pages on the www.FLAAR.org network.

Our biggest customer at UFM are the hundreds of architecture students. At BGSU it’s the 700 art students, but a wide diversity out of the remaining 19,000 students keep us busy too.

We print GIS for geology and geography departments; posters for biology, chemistry and the Business School. Whatever your school or university needs to print, we probably already have experience. We also print for off-campus businesses, so we know what it takes do satisfy real clients who demand quality.

FLAAR has 15 inkjet printers and a modest laminator which can also mount prints onto foam core. Several of our printers can output to silk, cotton, or other fabrics.

As a result of our years of experience, hundreds of university professors, purchasing agents, administrators, and deans from around the world use e-mail to ask Professor Hellmuth of FLAAR at BGSU what wide format inkjet printer they should purchase for their own school.

We have reports on Canon, ColorSpan, Encad, Epson, HP, Mimaki, Mutoh, and Roland large format inkjet printers.

If you prefer to bring Dr Hellmuth to your campus as a consultant, he consults world wide in German, Spanish, and English. While he is providing information to your campus on digital printing, perhaps you can twist his arm to speak about digital photography or pre-Columbian Mayan archaeology. He teaches both of these subjects in addition to advanced wide format inkjet printer technology. Indeed last year he taught digital photography for art historical restoration at the Malta Centre for Restoration, University of Malta (www.ikonosheritage.org/) for their Ikonos project. Professor Hellmuth also teaches digital photography at UFM in Guatemala.
