Operator Paul Newman loads a test sheet onto the Truepress Jet W3200UV
JCT Visual Communications has chosen Screen Europe’s newest wide format printer, the Truepress Jet W3200UV, for its first flatbed printer.
The investment comes on the back of strong growth at the Bournemouth-based specialist in retail and exhibition graphics.
Julian Turner, founder, said, ‘Too often the graphics we were asked to fit were poorly printed so we decided to take greater control of the product and give clients a complete, reliable service.’
The W3200UV enables JCT to meet clients’ demand for printing on board up to 50 mm thick.
Mr Turner, said, ‘We looked at a number of different printers, and showed the results to customers to gauge their reactions. Some models couldn’t match the print quality and colour fidelity our customers demand, while the running costs of others were too high.’
Productivity was a key factor in the decision in favour of the Truepress Jet W3200UV. With a maximum throughput speed of 85 sqm/hr, the printer can cope with long production runs that enable large retail clients to roll out promotions across multiple outlets.
Dependable service support was similarly critical when dealing with major brands, said Mr Turner. ‘Inca Digital and Screen have an excellent reputation. Screen has a large service organisation, backed by remote diagnostics that effectively give us 24 hour support. The fact the W3200UV is manufactured by Inca Digital in Cambridge also helps us assure clients that we know what we’re doing. All in all, buying this machine shows clients we’re serious about the business.’
Designed and built by Screen subsidiary Inca Digital, the Truepress Jet W3200UV handles media up to 1.6 x 3.2 m and up to 50 mm thick. As standard, the printer takes CMYK inks but four additional channels provide options for light cyan and light magenta and/or two sets of white inks
