The Dish on Plates

Ian Hole, business development manager, N.A., at BARCO Graphics explains since the release of the lower-priced Cyrel Digital Imager (CDI) Spark, the company has seen an expanding interest in the technology. "A few years ago, this equipment was priced at $500,000-$600,000 per machine. Today, you can get the Spark Basic (RIP included) for just over $155,000. Every quarter the interest gets greater. Right now we have about 35 installations across North America—a number that has multiplied since the introduction of the Spark."
