The Vutek GS3250LX Pro is one of two EFI machines the firm has installed for its push into wide format
City of London printer Kingswood iOptus has opened a factory in Swanley, Kent and invested in a pair of EFI printers for wide format work.
The firm opted for a Vutek GS3250LX Pro and EFI H1625, which both use LED UV curing and can print directly onto rigid materials, to extent its wide format offering. The two machines will be used for interior and exterior display work and bolster its previous roll-fed production capabilities.
‘Our business has flourished to encompass all types of digital print for an increasingly diverse customer base,’ explained managing director Robert Long. ‘The days have long gone when clients were prepared to use different print providers for their orders. The fact that we can offer, from a single source, enormous diversity across all production needs has been instrumental in the 400% growth which we have achieved in the past three years.’
‘Kingswood iOptus’ purchase is part of a trend where companies are successfully becoming single-source providers for all types of printed output,’ said Paul Cripps, EFI’s regional vice president of sales. ‘EFI’s portfolio of printers offers print shops the opportunity to add wide- and superwide-format production seamlessly to existing operations.’
