Lumejet once again made a splash with the sell of another S200 press, signed on the stand by Barnard & Westwood, holder of two royal warrants. Austen Kopley, managing director, said, ‘At first glance there really is no fit for a LumeJet S200 at Barnard & Westwood. Technology is not what we are about, but then you see the output.
