The UK’s first EFI VUTEk 5r printer has been installed at Hollywood Monster’s Birmingham headquarters. Supplied and installed by EFI distributor CMYUK in February 2017, the West Midlands-based display specialist selected the 5 meter-wide machine for its ability to meet the productivity levels required by its rapidly expanding retail customer base.
Featuring high-quality output with 7 picoliter greyscale imaging in resolutions up to 1,200 dpi, the new VUTEk 5r model offers the fastest throughput in its class. Another standout feature of the EFI VUTEk 5r printer include powerful LED-curing technology.
“It’s not unusual for us to print off hundreds or even thousands of banners for big events,” said Simon McKenzie, managing director at Hollywood Monster. “Previously they would all have needed trimming on our cutting table, or – dependent on size – even by hand. That entire process is now completed on the fly during the print process. Being a long-time UV-LED printer user, we already expected increased reliability, instant on/off curing lamps, the ability to print sensitive and thin materials, reduced costs of replacement lamps and reduced energy consumption.”
