California-based Zoo Printing has installed its fifth and sixth EFI Vutek superwide format printers - a Vutek GS3250r UV roll-to-roll printer and a Vutek GS3250lx Pro LED UV flatbed/roll hybrid printer.
“We conducted extensive research to determine that Vutek machines from EFI are the best option for trade printers like us due to their exceptional quality, production speed, value and consistency,” said Dan Doron, Zoo Printing's CEO. "We continue to be an all-Vutek business in our large-format departments because we need to deliver the same high quality across our product lines and our production locations."
Zoo Printing uses its new GS3250r to fulfill orders for a wide range of superwide print products, including vinyl banners, static clings, magnets and adhesive-backed graphics. Its new GS3250lx Pro primarily runs rigid substrate work to meet surging demand for yard signs and POP displays.
“With these printers, we can continue growing our offerings while providing the best quality in the industry,” said Doron. “Many of our customers recognise the opportunity in large-format products, and Zoo Printing provides them an advantage over competitors. As a result, our large format products are now among our top sellers.”
Much of the work Zoo prints is delivered to its trade customers and then re-shipped to an end user. In that environment, short turnaround times are essential to meet very tight deadlines. Not only do Zoo's Vutek printers offer fast speeds to meet productivity demands, with UV and LED UV curing, Zoo's superwide format jobs are ready for finishing and shipping immediately after printing.
