Heckford Advertising has replaced its six-year-old Mimaki JV5-160S wide-format printer with the same model to reap the benefits of using the new, eco-friendlier SS21 inks combined with the 1.6m system's improved print speeds.
Supplied by i-Sub Digital, the new JV5-160S unit's SS21 ink means Heckford Advertising no longer needs to use a carbon filter for printroom ventilation, and the recyclable packaging used in the bulk ink system has cut the amount of waste the Preston-based print and marketing business sends to landfill.
Pawel Dunaj from Heckford Advertising, said: “The new JV5 with bulk SS21 inks has been a real improvement for us. I can safely say there are almost no fumes or odour and we no longer need a carbon filter. The bulk ink system is also useful because we don't need to replace the inks as often.
“We can enjoy print speeds up to 40m2/hr on PVC banners in conjunction with the Mimaki RasterLink Rip software, at great quality.”
