Lenexa, KS-based Custom Color Corp. recently added an EFI VUTEk HS125 Pro hybrid flatbed/roll inkjet press from Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
With the addition of the 126-inch wide, high-volume HS125 Pro, Custom Color Corp replaced an older, dedicated flatbed printer.
“We continue to invest in next level technologies to provide our clients with the highest-quality products on time and on a budget,” COO Mike Lecus said.
Printing at speeds up to 125 boards per hour, the VUTEk press has eight channels, including two with white ink, and delivers premium-quality, grayscale imaging on a broad range of flexible and rigid substrates up to 2 inches thick.
The newly installed hybrid printer is also doing double-duty on roll-to-roll goods.
Custom Color is one of the country’s largest producers of printed G-FLOOR polyvinyl flooring.
“Before now,” Lecus said, “printing vibrant, full-color designs over the clear base of G-FLOOR required printing white ink at slower speeds. We looked at everything else available on the market, and realized the increased throughput with the dual channel whiteheads was the ideal solution for our high-volume white ink production.”
To accommodate this amount of work, Custom Color purchased its printer with an elevated unwinder, one of several full- and semi-automated media handling options available with the VUTEk HS125 Pro.
At the start of the year, the company replaced four solvent-based printers with a pair of EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340 aqueous dye-sublimation printers.
