Display Signs has had a surge of orders after it invested in a HP FB700, a HP Latex 360 and a Summa F Series cutter from City and West End Solutions.
The surge in in orders has led the company to a recruitment drive in order to handle the extra requests, ‘We’re now looking for top notch, experienced people to join our sales, design and production teams and we’re also interested in taking on a graduate who’s at the start of their career,’ said Alan Kelvey.
The expansion to the 25-strong workforce is needed to support the growth seen since it bought the Summa cutter and the Latex 360 this year and the FB700 two years ago.
‘We asked CWE to work with us to create and supply a completely integrated system, including the PCs and Caldera RIP, that would work seamlessly together in our new print and cut facility,’ added Mr Kelvey. ‘We’ve had a long standing relationship with CWE Solutions and have confidence in both their advice and after sales service. Now we have these printers integrated into our system we can use them to make just about any type of sign, banner or display.
‘With the FB700, printing direct to board with UV curable ink is a real plus, as Correx , foam PVC and composites are great for construction signage. With the UV printer we can also now print onto frosted films for windows without solvent-related softening, and even print in white. The HP Latex 360 is fast and the product can be taken off the machine and then either laminated or cut on the Summa straight away.’
