Randy Geesman, Paradigm Imaging's President said, "We are very pleased to offer this printer, as it reinforces
our reputation as a leading large format solutions provider. We see a transition occurring in the reprographics
market towards solvent inkjet technology. The reprographics market is expanding services to provide their
customers with more durability at a lower cost in order to compete in the sign and outdoor graphics market."
Geesman added, "The Graphtec JS300 series printer gives reprographics service bureaus a significant competitive
advantage for particular print output applications. With its high productivity output and very low operating cost,
they will see a rapid ROI with the JS300. Our channel of authorized resellers can also offer a complete Graphtec
solution, combining the JS300 with a Graphtec FC7000-160 cutter for wide format Print and Cut applications."
Graphtec SignJet Product Manager, Charlie Yang said, "The JS300-18ES 72-inch wide production printer is
one of the fastest in its class with print speeds from 113 square feet (High Quality) to 296 square feet (Draft
mode) per hour. With 8 Xaar Heads (2 x CMYK) and single or bi-directional and multi-pass printing modes, the
JS300 output can be optimized depending on the media type or quality desired. Our Eco-Friendly, low solvent
inks, provide excellent fade and scratch resistance with outdoor durability up to 3 years. The JS300 is perfect
for large outdoor text and graphics, full color banners, vehicle wraps, printable vinyl graphics, POP Displays,
promotional posters, and floor graphics."

Media can be changed quickly and simply by lifting it off the rollers. The auto feeder and front take-up roller
provides even media tensioning for long, unattended printing at maximum printing speeds. The media heater
and dryer system also ensures excellent ink adhesion and rapid drying time for optimum throughput and
productivity. The JS300 is compatible with a variety of sheet and roll media (up to 50 yards long) including
indoor banner, vinyl, window film, polyester, outdoor banner, vehicle wraps, and poster sheets. The JS300
