Ringwood, UK-based JCT Developments is expanding with a recently installed EFI VUTEk HS125 F4 hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll printer from Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
“The machine is far outperforming all expectations, cutting the production time of 100 double-sided set-size Foamex boards (1200mm x 1700mm x 5mm) from eight hours to 45 minutes,” JCT Developments Managing Director Julian Turner said.
The VUTEk HS125 F4 printer’s production speed, which is faster than JCT anticipated, enables the company to further improve print capacity and focus on expanding its business. Turner expects good growth for his company in 2019.
JCT Developments’ new VUTEk is a 3.2-meter hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll inkjet printer, featuring Fast-4 technology that uses eight ink channels in a CMYK x 2 configuration for high-speed throughput. The machine prints up to 225 boards per hour with resolutions of 600 or 1000 dpi and greyscale print capability.
Turner was particularly interested in the printer’s ink adhesion and the manufacturing process on Correx, a corrugated plastic. “Correx is a very hard substrate to strike a happy medium on,” said Turner, “but we can run it full throttle on the HS125 F4.
“It quickly became clear that the HS125 F4 is not only fast, but provides good quality of print, plus less expensive ink prices compared to other suppliers I use,” he added.
JCT Developments specializes in advertising and point of sale signs as well as display graphics.
