Eventureworks has begun running its second Roland VersaArt RE-640 wide-format printer, bought via Quality Print Services (QPS) at Sign and Digital UK.
Eventureworks prints bespoke cycle jerseys as well as T-shirts and other sportswear, through its website TheCycleJersey.com. In addition, the company's TheFloorPoster.com site offers printed floor mats, bar runners, banners and fabric window displays, all printed on the Roland VersaArt RE-640 machines with Nazdar dye-sublimation inks.
Brian Gibb, director at Eventureworks, said: "We're launching a new website and wanted to increase production by replacing a Mimaki machine with one that could deliver more volume reliably. We were toying with the idea of installing a faster, larger machine but decided on two slightly slower, identical printers to give us greater production flexibility and to provide a degree of redundancy in the unlikely event of technical difficulties down the line so we can easily transfer jobs to the other and still work at 50% capacity. Our customers demand a quick turnaround and this way we can offer a much faster service than our competitors in the sportswear market."
The new machine is running at Eventureworks’ Falkirk printroom, side by side with an identical Roland RE-640 installed by QPS last December.
