Anyone know anything about proofing/prototyping printers?
I want to invest in my own printer to use for making hard copy proofs and packaging prototypes. I've never used anything beyond a photo printer, but I'm at the point where i think i need to make the jump into this realm for my clients.
I need one that can print white ink and varnishes, also be ables to print on various types of material including film.

Protip - process printers will yield different results depending on profiles and substrate selection. There are also numerous additional factors, like relative colormetric and absolute settings. This can go on and on.
Unless your project is important enough to support spot printing you will have to supply the pantone matches and hope your printer knows how to on the fly calibrate.
