Hop Industries announced that Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI) will demonstrate how easy it is to produce high quality, backlit signage using the EFI VUTEk LX3 Pro printer and Hop-Syn BL synthetic paper at its booth at 2017 SGIA Expo. At the Expo, which takes place in New Orleans, Oct 10-12, attendees are invited to visit the EFI booth for live demonstrations of the 3.2-meter LED inkjet printer creating backlit signage using the durable, environmentally friendly Hop-Syn BL 10mil. Free samples of the backlit signage will also be available at Hop’s booth.
 
“The live demonstrations at SGIA Expo provide a wonderful opportunity to showcase high-value, backlit applications achievable with EFI inkjet technology and Hop-Syn,” said Ken Hanulc, VP of marketing, EFI inkjet. “Attendees can take the samples and show their customers the new and innovate ways to use backlit signage in their advertising strategies.”  
 
Hop-Syn BL is an environmentally friendly synthetic paper that is used for back lit P-O-P signs, transit and airport displays, bus shelters, fine art, and more. It can be printed by flexography, offset, screen, thermal transfer and inkjet. The VUTEk LX3 Pro is designed for high production throughput.
