GCI Graphics, a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Exploring, Inc., installed a state-of-the-art soft signage dye sublimation production line, featuring an EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340 printer and Fiery proServer digital front end (DFE) from Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI), along with a Klieverik heat press.
The new equipment gives GCI Graphics the ability to help customers save money and resources with reusable, high-end soft signage graphics that are easy to ship, store and re-use in point-of-purchase retail display, arena and exhibition graphics, and other applications.
“The new EFI soft signage equipment is part of our major growth investment in GCI Graphics to bring clients the best digital print solutions, and it extends GCI Graphics’ presence as the premier grand-format printer in the Southeast,” said Exploring president Dave Walens.
The 3.4-meter VUTEk FabriVU printer is an aqueous dye-sublimation soft signage textile product developed using the technology knowledge base that EFI Reggiani – a global leader in industrial textile imaging – has established over the past 70 years.
EFI’s environmentally friendly “cool-cure” LED inkjet technology on the printer gives GCI Graphics the ability to print on thin or delicate substrates that cannot withstand the heat required with latex inkjet or traditional UV drying and curing, all while using up to 82% less energy than latex or UV.
