A new system from Durst, manufacturer of advanced digital and production technologies, is the centerpiece of a £1million investment by an entrepreneur who is relocating his unique wallcovering design printing business from Hong Kong into the UK to grow markets across Europe and the United States.

After evaluating state-of-the-art hybrid and flatbed digital inkjet technologies, ScreenTech Graphics, an Austell, Georgia based trade print business known for premium analog screen printing, recently upgraded its superwide-format digital production offering, becoming the first business in the southeastern U.S. to install the next-generation, high-end flatbed/roll-fed EFI™ VUTEk® h3 superwide-format LED inkjet printer from Electronics For Imaging (EFI).

The unstoppable phenomenon of UV printing is slowly but surely taking over printing plants. One of the reasons behind this trend is the gradual introduction of new printing devices, which are more affordable but deliver the same results. A good example is Agfa’s recently launched Anapurna H1650i. The new 1.6-meter wide hybrid printer and LED curing system prints on a wide range of rigid and flexible media, as well as on flexible substrate rolls.

Icon Graphics has invested in Durst technology for the second time in 12 months, now adding a Rho 512R LED printer to its headquarters in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, in another UK first for the company.

Premium Color Group is meeting surging demand for new business and its custom packaging line with high-end LED digital inkjet technology from Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII). The Carlstadt, New Jersey-based company has installed an EFI™ VUTEk® LX3 Pro hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll LED inkjet printer that will significantly increase the company’s responsiveness and capabilities supporting PCG’s growing business.

French-based screen and digital printing company Bourgeois Publicité has installed an EFI™ VUTEk® LX3 Pro hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll superwide-format printer from EFI to enhance the quality it offers in premium digital print graphics.

Packaging leader ASG Spark has upgraded its Roland printing system to a new VersaUV S-Series, meaning it can print onto a virtually unlimited variety of materials and objects.

Mimaki will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of UV LED inkjet printers at InPrint 2018 (Milan, Italy – 20 – 22 November 2018, stand #410). The company will demonstrate how print service providers (PSPs) and industrial manufacturers of promotional and consumer products can use Mimaki’s high quality print technology, offering market leading productivity and versatility, to support increased revenues and drive new application possibilities.

Large format digital production company Rocket Graphics has recently announced considerable expansion to its Watford-based facilities, adding 6,000 square feet to the Croxley Business Park site. This additional space is now home to a new 3.2m EFI VUTEk LX3 UV LED hybrid printer, purchased from CMYUK – the UK’s largest independent supplier of wide-format digital printers, cutting equipment and materials.
