Inkjet Insight announces free tools for inkjet device and paper evaluation. The production inkjet market is evolving at an astonishing rate providing opportunities for print organizations to enter new markets and improve operating margins. With more companies entering the market and new higher quality options from existing suppliers, buyers are challenged to identify all of the inkjet options that meet their needs.

“There are more options than ever for companies evaluating inkjet and not all of those options are suitable for every application segment,” said Elizabeth Gooding, co-creator of InkjetInsight.com. “Inkjet Insight tracks over 160 production inkjet devices and nearly 1,000 different papers. Buyers need a way to narrow the field of options without missing devices that could meet their needs.”

Inkjet Insight is addressing the need for transparency and simplicity in identifying competitive inkjet devices and media with free versions of its widely acclaimed Device Finder and Paper Finder applications.

About Device Finder (Basic and Pro)

Device Finder consolidates specifications from production inkjet device OEMs into a single, searchable database. Device Finder can help to quickly identify products for further evaluation based on specific search criteria such as images-per-minute, ink type, roll or sheet input, and application suitability. Current inkjet users with off-market devices can use Device Finder to compare their current device to the latest available technology when considering upgrades. All devices and search criteria are available through the new Device Finder Basic version for free while the Device Finder Pro enables specification drill-down and compare features for premium members.

About Paper Finder (Basic and Pro)

Paper Finder is a searchable database of papers verified as production-ready for inkjet devices.

Paper Finder includes all inkjet compatible media identified through mills and OEMs, or reported by members and verified compatible by Inkjet Insight. The application also provides the opportunity to search and compare to off-market papers to make it easier for inkjet users to find new papers to replace stocks that are no longer available. All listed papers and search criteria are available through the new Paper Finder Basic version for free, while device Finder Pro enables additional features for premium members.

There is no cost for OEMs or mills to include their products on any of the Finder applications on Inkjet Insight.
