Eco Signs has installed an EFI Vutek 32h LED inkjet printer. The 3.2m hybrid device is the third EFI printer the Swindon-based company has purchased within the last two years, including an EFI Vutek LX3 Pro hybrid LED printer.
‘Over the last two years, we have been stepping up our production facility due to ever demanding and increasingly tighter deadlines, which consequently puts pressure on the business,’ said Phil Thompson, president at Eco Signs. ‘The Vutek 32h will have a major impact with doubling our output in 2020 and gives us an edge with LED and UltraDrop Technology for ultra-impressive, superb quality. That is a key priority for our business.’
Previous investments in Vutek printers have allowed Eco Signs to operate more sustainably thanks to EFI’s energy-efficient ‘cool cure’ LED technology, which, according to research from Fogra, can reduce energy usage by up to 82% compared with other superwide-format drying or curing methods.
‘The way in which the EFI Vutek LX3 Pro has changed our business has impacted us much more than we anticipated,’ Mr Thompson said of his previous Vutek purchase. ‘We have been impressed with the UltraDrop and LED technology, which has helped drive down operating costs and waste and allowed us to have a better environmental footprint being ‘Eco’.’
