Cornish-based signage and fine art printer Print-2-Media has installed a swissQprint Nyala 4.
According to the company, the flatbed Nyala 4 has delivered significant advantages in both speed and capability over the two-metre machine it has replaced.
Operating in a variety of commercial sectors and with almost 40 percent of its business derived from its online presence, Print-2-Media’s clients range from individual B2C commissions to local, national and international artists seeking limited-edition fine art prints.
In addition, the business works in several specialist sectors, including the production of internal and external signage for both schools and national garden centre chains. With its additional roll unit, six inks including CMYK, white and varnish and a double row of print heads, the Nyala 4 has provided significant flexibility to their production output.
Director Glenn Wrigley said, ‘This ‘plug and play’ capability alone is already making us realise that our investment in Swiss-built quality is well founded. When calculated over the expected working life of the equipment, swissQprint’s renowned low service costs and durability credentials mean that we get all the production advantages and flexibility, essentially at no additional cost. This is a clear case of buy right, buy once.’
Historically, its finishing department was waiting for the printers to complete a job. Now the pressure is on them to keep up with the Nyala 4’s production speeds.
