Colour Graphics director Steve Birch
Colour Graphics is expanding its involvement with textiles and interior design, with an investment in a new MTEX 5032Pro direct-to-textile printer.
The MTEX 5032Pro is a 3.2 m wide, direct sublimation printer that delivers brilliant and vivid colours. It has integrated fixation, and runs at 58 sqm/hr. The Pro is the second-generation version of the 3.2 m wide MTEX 5032 which has a proven track record in the industry as the market leading direct-to-textile printer in Europe.
James Birch, Colour Graphics director, said, ‘We’ve added extra space onto our unit to house the new MTEX in an area that will be dedicated to fabric and finishing. We wanted to make the move into textiles as we always try to be ahead of the wave, and the market is clearly changing and getting much bigger. As well as allowing us to expand the offering for our existing sign and display customers, we’ll also now be able to look at expanding into new areas.’
‘Our existing customer base is 80% trade, and they’ll be able to offer this great new technology to their customers without having to make an investment themselves. With the support of MTEX, we’re also looking at moving into areas outside of sign, display and interiors, into markets such as fashion.’
