Dominion has become the first UK company to order the 5m version of Fujifilm’s Uvistar Pro8. Director Tom Clark signed for the machine at Fespa last week. “We’d seen the 3m Uvistar Pro8 last year and were amazed by its capabilities,” he said. “The 5m version suits our requirements for producing super-wide applications such as building wraps and banners, so we can’t wait to integrate it within our production department.”
Dominion started to a print equipment upgrade programme at Drupa 2012, which led to the recent installation of an Inca Onset S40 to join its Inca Onset S20, both also supplied by Fujifilm.
Clark said of the new Uvistar Pro8. “We believe that the set of light colours within the ink set, together with the Parallel Drop Size (PDS) technology, which enables the jetting of different droplet sizes without any reduction in throughput speed, will give us a competitive advantage.”
He added: “The flexibility to print potentially three different materials at the same time is just amazing. And the optional automatic media load and unload tables for rigid media handling will give us the versatility to switch between a variety of jobs and print the maximum flat-sheet stock available. Finally, we’ll take advantage of the backlit camera option as it will allow us to print high quality images with perfect registration between the front and back of the jobs during the production process.”
