荷兰机场推出横幅自动打印服务

近日荷兰阿姆斯特丹国际机场推出世界上第一个能够在短短几分钟内打印出个性化巨型帆布横幅的自动打印机。横幅自动打印机的发明，省去了过去人们用床单自己制作横幅接人的麻烦，为人们提供了不少便利。

Ever wanted to meet and greet your loved ones at the airport to be sure they don't miss you in the crowds?

Then try Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, which now has the world's first vending¹（贩卖，出售） machine capable of printing out personalized giant canvas（帆布） banners in just a few minutes.

You can pick your message, whether that is "Missed you Mummy," "I love you," "Will you marry me?," or anything else that makes you stand out from the crowd, choose the font and background design, pay between four and 15 euros ($19.98)depending on the length of the banner, and hit the button.

"We came up with the idea because when we were at the airport we'd see all these people welcoming their friends and family with their own banners made of bed sheets and we thought what a hassle（困难，麻烦） using sheets, wouldn't it just be easier to make the banner at the airport," BannerXpress's co-founder Thibaud Bruna told Reuters Thursday.

Bruna's first machine, which was three years in the making, made its debut² at Schiphol Thursday. If the waterproof³ banners prove popular, he hopes to install the vending machines in other locations.

"We hope have them in other airports, but also in stadiums for sporting and music events," Bruna said.
