Four years from the launch of the Acuity LED 1600 and two years on from the launch of the updated Acuity LED 1600 II, Turkish industrial printer Elitronik has purchased the 1000th unit of this machine in the world.
This hybrid platform is popular with wide format and packaging printers globally. Elitronik, which produces membrane switch graphic overlays for the electronics industry, found the UV inkjet technology of the Acuity LED 1600 to be ideal. Moving from a screen printing process to inkjet, Elitronik was able to increase quality, slash delivery times, win new business and more than triple its annual turnover.
“Our sector uses screen printing almost exclusively,” said Müge Elif Özaslan, Elitronik owner and founder. “This can be a costly and time-consuming process, with lots of room for human error. In 2015 we began looking at technology that could take our company to the next level and digital UV looked to be the most promising method. They allowed us to trial an Acuity LED 1600 at our factory, so we could be sure it was going to deliver the improvements we needed. We began winning new business, and jobs that would have taken a week or more were finished in one or two days.
“Sample preparation used to be a huge inconvenience – time-consuming and expensive. Now, with the Acuity LED 1600, it’s a simple, seamless process. Across the board we’re seeing huge time and cost savings. Productivity is up, profitability is up and business is still growing – so to make the most of that opportunity we made the decision to purchase a second machine, an Acuity LED 1600 II.”
“Reaching 1000 sales of the Acuity LED 1600 platform globally is testament to its reliability, quality and versatility,” said Tudor Morgan, segment manager, Sign & Display at Fujifilm Graphic Systems Europe.
