The Acuity LED 1600 II
Print company Potts Print has invested in two Acuity machines, the Acuity F and Acuity LED 1600 II, in order to further enhance its expansion in to wide format digital printing.
The company’s visit to Fujifilm’s advanced print technology centre in Brussels played a vital part to the final decision. Owner Keith McHugh said, ‘The Brussels visit really opened our eyes to our potential future in wide format. We were there primarily to look at the Acuity F, as we needed a high performance flatbed to meet growing customer demand. We obviously liked what we saw as we ended up buying that machine – a UK first – and we’ve been very happy with it. But the decision to go with Fujifilm wasn’t just about the Acuity F – or any other single machine – but about Fujifilm’s product portfolio as a whole and the support they offer along the way.’
Speaking about the Acuity LED 1600 II, Mr McHugh said, ‘It was an impulse purchase in a sense. This machine was not even on our radar, but we saw it in action in Brussels while looking at the Acuity F and we recognised its potential for running bespoke, short-runs – alongside the longer runs handled by the Acuity F. Together they are a great combination for the business.’
Potts Print’s business development director John Conway, said, ‘With our established range of sheet fed lithographic, short run digital, mailing and fulfilment services, our wide format digital print offering complements and supports our aim to become a ‘one stop’ print solutions company. We work with some powerful brands and have already completed several major projects with them that have included wide format print during 2015. With this latest investment we can now work closely with our clients to deliver a complete project, every time, seamlessly and without compromise on quality or turnaround.’
