US-based finishing equipment supplier Foster has brought to market a roll lifter for handling wide or heavy media rolls, particularly those used with grand- and wide-format printers. The Low Profile On-a-Roll Lifter handles media rolls up to 300kg and up to 5m wide. Foster, a HP partner, sees it as a companion to HP Latex 3000, 3100, and 3500 series printers in particular. The new lifter is available through HP dealers worldwide.
