This has been on the to-do list for some time now. What this means for the clients is improved print quality and clarity. Rather than ordering the standard dimention platens that are available through various distributors, We are having ours custom made to custom specifications by <a href="http://sbforge.com/" target="_blank">Santa Barbara Forge + Iron.</a></p> <p>We will also be incorporating an over sized aluminum vacuum platen for printing posters. Photos will be posted when it is finished!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25 aligncenter" title="platen2" src="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/platen21.png" alt="platen2" width="344" height="340" /></p> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="info"> <span class="cat block"><a href="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/?cat=6" title="View all posts in equipment" rel="category">equipment</a></span> </div> <div class="com">   </div> <div class="reply"> <h3 id="respond" class="title-2 block">Leave a Reply</h3> <form action="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform"> <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" /> <label for="author" class="author">Name (required)</label></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" /> <label for="email" class="email">Mail (will not be published) (required)</label></p> <p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" /> <label for="url" class="website">Website</label></p>  <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" rows="10" tabindex="4" cols="92"></textarea></p> <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" /> <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="22" /> </p> <p style="font-size:9px;"><a href="http://www.hybrid6.com/webgeek/plugins/wp-spamfree" title="WP-SpamFree WordPress Anti-Spam Plugin" >Anti-Spam Protection</a> by WP-SpamFree</p> <noscript><p><strong>Currently you have JavaScript disabled.
