Total Displays has bought an EFI Vutek QS3 Pro UV printer and EFI Pace MIS software, both ordered at Fespa 2-13.
"It was at EFI that we found the best combination of versatility of applications, print quality and production speed," said MD Layth Karagholi. "We come from the indoor business where resolutions are high but speeds are slow, so we used to think UV was not an option. With the Vutek printer, UV is now possible without our customers noticing the transition. The printer's 320cm width and hybrid-ready capabilities were additional reasons for us to go with EFI.
He added: "The EFI Pace offers the versatility we were looking for. It links seamlessly with the printer to offer good reporting, CRM and automated workflow. We can get Pace to tell us what we need it to tell us."
Tayprint installs two HP Scitex printers
Tayprint has installed a HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press and an HP Scitex XP2500 Industrial Printer within four weeks of each other. The Dundee-based operation, which started as a traditional screen printer in 1976, has bought the machines to help expand its application portfolio and offer quicker turnaround times.
“Business has been great, but we reached a point where we wanted to offer more to stand out from competition, and we realised that it was time to invest in new technology,” said Kevin Geoghegan, production manager, Tayprint. “We chose the two different products to maximise production and have the ability to offer both indoor and outdoor applications. The HP Scitex FB7600 has enabled us to move into new markets such as packaging and also offer indoor applications including POP displays, and we are using the HP Scitex XP2500 for banners.
“Now that our eyes are open to what the new HP products can do for our company, our aim is to keep growing and moving the company forward,” said Geoghegan. “We want to continue to reach out to new markets and keep expanding our application portfolio from here.”
