Electronics For Imaging, Inc. said Southern California printing company D’Andrea Visual Communications (DVC) has expanded its existing fleet of EFI VUTEk technologies with the installation of an EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340 soft signage inkjet printer.
Cypress, Calif.-based DVC has been in business since 2005. The company offers everything from litho and large-format printing to design, finishing, fabrication and installation services.
The company is a long-time EFI customer that also uses EFI Fiery digital front ends to drive its inkjet devices. Plus, DVC directs its overall business and production management workflow with an EFI Midmarket Print Suite featuring EFI Pace MIS/ERP technology and a full range of component solutions for dynamic scheduling, web-to-print, multi-channel marketing, planning, shipping and more. In addition to its new VUTEk FabriVU printer, D’Andrea also has two 5-meter VUTEk roll-to-roll printers and a pair of 3.2-meter VUTEk hybrid flatbed/roll LED printers.
“About 40% of our business is fabric-based, and that percentage is likely to climb with this new printer,” said DVC co-owner David Schiller. “Over the years, we have had a number of EFI VUTEk printers – including purchasing six printers in one order about five years ago – and have found working with EFI to be a terrific experience. Their service and support are exceptional, and they are like family to us.”
The new VuTek FabriVU was installed in late 2017.
“It’s...not uncommon to get calls from big brands looking for event backdrops with the order in at 9 a.m. and up to Los Angeles by 4:30 same day,” Schiller added. “The new printer gives us the capacity to support those requirements as well as having our own frame extrusions stocked in-house.”
While the company had previously produced draperies for theaters, custom pillow cases and other design and décor applications, with the new printer, Schiller has found that “there’s huge opportunity for us moving forward in that market segment.
