Jim Marshall from Modex Exhibitions operating the 2.5m x 1.3m JFX200
Northamptonshire-based exhibition and display contractors, Modex Exhibitions had no previous print experience until it invested in a Mimaki JFX200-2513 flatbed to become more self-sufficient.
From its base in Croughton, Northants, Modex Exhibitions produces bespoke, modular exhibition stands and displays for clients as diverse as BAE Systems, Nat West and Nottinghamshire County Council. ‘We undertake virtually everything in-house, but the one thing that historically we’ve never had the capability for was the actual print of the graphics panels, which we had always outsourced,’ explained Rob Brooks, director.
Following a chance meeting with Preston-based Mimaki re-seller Granthams, and with assistance from Mimaki distributor, Hybrid Services, a JFX200-2513 flatbed LED UV printerwas installed at Modex Exhibitions in mid-January and now makes a significant contribution to the company’s production of 30 to 40 display stands per month.
‘From a standing start at installation, within the first three weeks we had successfully printed more than 600 8′ x 4′ rigid Foamex display boards,’ recalled Mr Brooks. ‘Investing in the Mimaki has turned us from Luddites to high volume printers in a few weeks!’
