GBM sales director, Simon Higginbottom
GBM Group has bought a Screen Truepress Jet W3200UV HS high speed flat bed printer to boost its Manchester-based production facilities and has seen an immediate impact on its business.
‘The Truepress Jet’s ability to deliver superb quality results using six colours plus white at a blistering 150 sqm/hr has allowed us to offer our blue-chip retail and brand clients a very competitive and fast turnaround service,’ said GBM sales director, Simon Higginbottom. ‘In the past we specialised in short-run jobs, but the Truepress Jet now gives us the ability to also handle medium-to-long run quality POS jobs to very tight deadlines.
‘The retail sector refreshes POS displays more often than ever before and it’s not unusual for an order to come in at 3pm which is needed in-store the following day,’ said Mr Higginbottom. ‘A recent job that would have taken us four days before we had the Truepress Jet, took only four hours! This one printer has tripled our capacity overnight and we have already won significant new business as a direct result.’
The company specialises in producing display and POS graphics for the retail, exhibition and museum sectors, as well as digital wallpaper and fabric graphics. In addition to POS and display graphics printed onto materials such as Foamex, Dibond, E flute, Boards and PVC, the Truepress Jet’s versatility has led GBM to undertake some unusual work – including 10,600 beer mats printed in only 3 hours!
A joint development between Screen and its subsidiary company Inca Digital, the W3200UV HS is a six colour + white device designed to meet the demands of the POS, signage and decor markets today with the ability to print onto a wide range of rigid and flexible media up to 3.2 x 1.6 m in size and up to a maximum 50 mm thickness.
