Oil & Gas Industry

Petroleum-related companies have plenty to print and scan. Well logs, maps, GIS information, and aerial photos are some of the wide-format documents the oil and gas industry uses daily. Oil & Gas companies still need equipment solutions to print and scan this critical data.

Manufacturing

Product manufacturers and tooling companies of all sizes need the most efficient way to deal with technical data. Besides wide-format prints and scans, manufacturers rely on solid CAD software solutions to save money and be more productive than ever.

Property Management

Property management professionals need ways to assess their property or facilities' real-world conditions quickly. Capturing spaces with 3D digital twins in in-model notes speeds up collaboration time with subcontractors and property stakeholders.

Commercial Printers

Commercial printers and centralized, in-plant graphics departments have very dynamic needs. These professional production groups are often responsible for printing everything from CAD to GIS to full-color outdoor graphics.

Education

K-12 schools and universities need simple and efficient ways to print posters and charts of all types. Monthly calendars, custom visual aids, and classroom photos are all examples of what can easily be accomplished with a wide format printer.
