There's a difference between $100 home printers and commercial type ink jet
printers. For example, billboards are often made on inkjet printers, as are
the fancy billboard type graphics that are put on cars and trucks. Banners for
public events, ditto. Even some fairly modest size printers can print on
suitable rigid materials. Epson is one example of a company that makes a range
of printers in many sizes, with a number of different types of ink or pigment
choices.
