Lincoln-based Venture Signs & Graphics Ltd recently installed an Epson SureColor SC-S30600 printer to expand its print capabilities and bring more of its wide format print work in-house.  

The printer will primarily be using the printer for sign-making applications and vehicle graphics; the printer recently tackled a 50 m hoarding print job. 

The company bought the printer from SMGG, the commercial graphics division of Stanford Marsh Group and selected the SC-S30600 for its efficiency and reliability. 

Another project is the company’s use of the SureColor to print vinyls for wrapping eight support vehicles and two exhibition units for the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance.  The company was contracted to print and fit the required liveries and graphics to the various vehicles and units. 

Designed to offer efficient and environmentally-friendly production at the lowest total cost of ownership, the SureColor SC-S30600 enables print businesses such as Venture Signs to cost-effectively expand their service offerings. It can produce everything from posters, signs, banners, backlit panels and POS to vehicle wraps, interior decorations and exhibition displays.

With a wide range of roll media supported, users can reliably and cost-effectively print on vinyl, canvas, clear film, photographic paper and a range of popular banner substrates, at up to 162.6 cm width.

By enabling the company to bring previously outsourced work in-house, the Epson machine gives the company greater control over the quality of the output it delivers to its customers. 

Keith Archer from Venture Signs said, ‘We were looking for a printer to boost our production and the SureColor SC-S30600 was highly recommended by a number of people. The Epson print heads were singled out as being particularly impressive.’

When purchasing the wide format printer, the company also purchased an Easy Mount EM 1600 SH laminator and Wasatch RIP software.
