Middlesborough based design, print and sign company Symbol has recently gone completely digital after 30 years of traditional screen printing, installing kit from Mimaki and Esko, supplied by CMYUK.
This decision meant a move to a new, larger production facility that includes Mimaki JFX200-2531 and UCJV300 printers, plus an Esko Kongsberg X24 Starter cutting table.
The Mimaki JFX200-2531 has twice the printing area of the 2513. The choice of inks, including white and clear, offer increased creative opportunities, with the capability to print to a wide range of substrates.
Meanwhile the UCJV300-160 has combined functionality for UV LED printing and cutting, covering a wide range of applications, from quick projects with short delivery times to avant-garde signboards.
The Kongsberg X24 Starter comes as standard with multiple tools for sample making, signage and display production, offering a broad selection of tools and providing high-quality results.
‘The overall project was quite stressful as we not only moved but needed new printers and cutters to kit the new production facility out,’ explained managing director Paul Walker. ‘Thanks to constant, organised help from CMYUK we managed it and can now work so much more efficiently and scale up our company. We received fantastic on-site training that was vital in order to prevent time-wasting.’
