FASTSIGNS Sheffield and Chesterfield has installed a HP Latex R530 printer
FASTSIGNS Sheffield and Chesterfield has invested in a new HP Latex R530 printer from UK reseller Perfect Colours.
The aim of the new installations is to expand its services and take on more work from eco-friendly minded clients.
Unveiled to the market in March 2025, the HP Latex R530 was marketed as the only compact, all-in-one rigid and flexible printer within the HP Latex range.
The machine runs at a top speed of up to 24m sq/hr in indoor mode, along with the ability to print on media up to 5cm thick and 1.6m wide.
Martin Slater, director of FASTSIGNS Sheffield and Chesterfield, said: “Our other printer is solvent-based, so having a new Latex machine will allow us to produce more recyclable products.
“This is something we haven’t explored previously, but we are investigating ways of marketing this to environmentally concerned purchasers.”
The company also purchased a new Summa flatbed cutter, and upgraded its Print Factory RIP software.
Mr Slater added: “We needed to increase our capacity to cope with demand. The ability to print direct-to-substrate means we cut out some processes, speeding up our delivery.”
