Modex, a producer of exhibition and event stands, has purchased a Mimaki wide-format UJV55-320 3.2m LED UV roll-to-roll printer.
The press, which was ordered at Sign & Digital UK from Mimaki partner CMYUK, will join a JFX200-2513 8 x 4ft LED UV printer and an array of finishing kit at Modex’s Banbury premises. It will allow the company to print fabric graphics in house and increase both its capacity and the range of services it can offer customers.
‘We already produce 50 to 60 stands a month using our Mimaki JFX to print directly to foamboard and we’re now able to guide our clients on a design-by-design basis to the best solution for their exhibition requirements,’ explained director Rob Brooks.
Modex has also installed an AE sewing machine to finish the work it produces on the UJV55 and opted to retrain existing staff to handle the finishing process.
Mr Brooks sees a lot of potential in this new service option and expects further investment in the future. ‘It would be no exaggeration to say that this part of business has grown so fast, that we’re already looking at a second Mimaki UJV55-320 to add to our fleet,’ he finished.
