Caravelle Creative says it has trebled throughput since installing a Mimaki JV33-160 1.6m printer in June to replace its Mimaki JV3-160.
Ian Daniels, Caravelle’s MD, said: "We held on to our old equipment for longer than we ought to have done, and with the new machine, the difference is really noticeable. Our output has gone up by about 300%. I've been asking myself, 'How did we ever survive with the old machine?' – and it's no exaggeration to say that."
He said the JV33-160, bought from I-Sub Digital, had been installed to improve productivity and quality, but has had a bigger impact than that, allowing it to take on a wider range of wide-format work.
Caravelle Creative offers a full design package, including website creation, branding, SEO management and small-format printing work such as brochures. The installation of the Mimaki JV33 has expanded this portfolio further.
"We didn't take on a lot of wide-format work before but now with the new JV33-160 we have the confidence to take on new clients," added Daniels.
