St Albans-based Slam Signs has bought a 64in Epson SureColor SC-S80600 printer. Supplied by Papergraphics, the new machine joins a SureColor SC-S40600 installed two years ago.
David Jorge, who heads the business with Jodie Banfather, said: “The 10-colour UltraChrome GS3 inkset, including metallic, red and white, means we can achieve accurate and consistent colours and hit the majority of Pantone colours. The special red ink really delivers a bright, punchy effect which designers and ad agencies love.”
Alongside its variety of signage products, Slam has developed a reputation for its vehicle graphics service. “On average, we wrap about two vehicles a week and the SC-S80600 is the perfect printer for this because of the stunning quality graphics that it produces,” added Jorge.
He continued: “Wallpaper and wall coverings are a growing in popularity as retailers, designers and events firms see the potential and the quality of the results. The advanced auto-tension control system on the SC-S 80600 prevents substrate stretch and means that we can print drops that align with each other perfectly. That’s very important.”
