Evron Graphics Adds EFI Pro 16h Wide Format Printer

Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI) announced that Evron Graphics is the first company to install EFI’s new Pro 16h hybrid roll/flatbed inkjet printer. The new printer installed this month is the third EFI wide format printer in Evron Graphics’ production portfolio and it gives the Livermore, CA-based company twice the production capacity it had before.
 
The 31-year-old, six-employee sign and display trade shop produces point-of-purchase (POP) displays, overlays, decals, testing templates and more.
 
“We started out as a screen printer doing front panel overlays, metal printing and direct screen printing,” said Chris Root, the company’s president. “We switched to digital due to shorter runs and an increased demand for four-color process printing. Our first EFI printer was the H652, for which we were a beta user. We also were a beta site for the EFI H1625. We needed more capacity, and were pleased to be able to again be a beta site for EFI with the Pro 16h hybrid inkjet printer.”
 
Root chose this newest EFI printer to produce even higher-quality imaging for jobs such as the POP signage Evron Graphics produces for Sephora and other premium retail brands. “While a lot of sign work is designed to be viewed from a distance, most of our work is viewed from less than three feet, so we need a tighter, cleaner print,” according to Root. “Plus, we were over capacity on our H1625 LED. With the new Pro 16h, we will more than double our capacity. It is 30% faster and has other new productivity features as well.”
 
Root is also pleased with the reduced energy consumption of the Pro 16h. “We can run the printer 10 to 12 hours per day,” he said, “and it uses about half the power of previous generations. That’s a huge savings in energy costs over the lifetime of the printer.”
