Quarmby helps EFI’s to Vutek GS milestone
EFI is celebrating the sale of its 100th Vutek GS Series grand format printer. The milestone machine was bought by Leeds-based Quarmby Colour which plumped for a GS3200, 3.2m UV-curable flatbed and roll-to-roll hybrid solution. Quarmby, which already owns two Vutek QS2000 machines, opted for eight-colours plus white ink to extend its existing production capabilities.
A family owned and run business that was formed back in 1994, Quarmby Colour produces an extremely diverse portfolio of display applications, ranging from outdoor and indoor retail and event advertising, point-of-sale, exhibition graphics and wallpapers. Additionally, the company specialises in the creation of bespoke sets and backdrops for film and television, all of which are printed digitally using only its Vutek grand format printers. Its decision to invest in the GS3200 was based on the system's high quality, fast throughput and quick and easy change-over when different types of jobs are being produced.
"We were looking for reliability, versatility, high-quality and high-speed in our search for our first 3m printer,” said Damian Quarmby, director of Quarmby Colour. "It also was vital for us to have a solution where changing from flatbed to roll-fed and back again was quick and easy, enabling us to move from one job to the next swiftly and smoothly. The GS3200 was the logical choice in terms of capability, quality and productivity. We expect to meet our customers' demands for wider-format capabilities to produce television and movie backdrops, for example."
