Case Studies

Yorkshire based signage and graphics business, Leading Edge, has invested in an Agfa Tauro S 3.2m wide-format ink jet print engine. The new machine, installed in early March, has provided additional capacity, better quality print at a greater speed and with energy saving benefits too.

Birmingham-based Hollywood Monster has installed an EFI Vutek Q5r from CMYUK to cope with demand after a record-breaking four months.

Large format print business VGL is a technology-driven company that required a more mature and streamlined approach to colour. Particularly across their retail and transport work, they needed the confidence that colour would be reproduced accurately as well as consistently over time. That’s why they turned to GMG ColorServer Digital to keep colours consistent across a dozen large format digital devices as well as a small format SRA3-size Indigo.

The retail industry is an increasingly competitive space as businesses and brands consistently battle to beat rivals on prices, match promotions, offer customers better deals, and grab the most attention in-store. This means suppliers to the retail industry cannot afford not to deliver outstanding quality, meet tight deadlines, and accommodate ambitious projects. As one of the leading producers of POS to the retail industry as well as the largest producer of OOH print, collaborating with customers including B&Q, Waitrose, H&M, M&S, and Tesco, SMP Group in London knows these demands all too well. Peter Darwin, Operations Director at SMP Group, says: “We're constantly challenged by our clients to provide higher quality, quicker turnaround, cheaper prices in reality, and we need to be initiative-taking in finding ways to get that out to the market.”

Cardiff-based 3 Sixty has installed an EFI Vutek FabriVU 340i + from CMYUK. The investment provides the company with greater capacity and will be used to output a range of innovative eco textiles that are available exclusively from CMYUK.

Fleet Livery Solutions has had a new Epson SureColor SC-R5000 resin ink large format printer installed, enabling it to deliver a next day service and win more business locally.

Antalis supplied its fluted display board and Dispa for the project in which environmental considerations were paramount.

Four years on from moving into their Leeds facility, Northern Flags, part of the FaberExposize Group, has taken delivery of their largest Agfa print machine to date, the Jeti Tauro H3300 HS LED inkjet engine.
