Graphic Station has been busy breaking in a Mimaki JFX200-2513 LED UV wide-format printer after its installation by i-Sub Digital this month, following its lightning-speed purchase of the first JFX200-2513 in Europe at Sign and Digital UK 2014 in April.
Graphic Station director Paul Fox arrived at the show in Birmingham before the doors opened, after working with i-Sub Digital's Emma Plant over previous weeks to find the ideal printer for the Romford-based business's needs.
After waiting for installation, the Graphic Station team has been busy testing it out with a huge variety of output, ranging from high-quality office signage to innovative retail branding to creative home décor.
"We've done so many different things," said Paul Fox. "We're working with an artist to print onto Welsh black slate, we've printed onto wood, MDF, acrylic and Dibond, produced promotional work for Arriva's London headquarters, working on branded cupboards for a national cake shop chain, taxi-cab signs – we've tried a whole range of materials and designs, with brilliant results."
Fox now has his eye on the Mimaki UJF-3042 desktop printer with Digi-Foil foiling system.
