Océ helps CPS focus on white ink capability and expansion
Contact Photographic Services Ltd (CPS), which specialises in high quality digital display printing, has become the 2000th company throughout the world to invest in Océ’s multi award-winning Arizona print production system. Exceptional print quality and speed, plus the ability to print white ink for
the first time digitally, is already opening new expansion opportunities for CPS, which was founded more than 20 years ago and employs 15 people from its Manchester-based headquarters. This is the third Océ Arizona for the large format specialist, which first purchased an Océ Arizona 250 GT in 2007 before taking an Océ Arizona 350 GT two years later and now upgrading to the super-fast Océ Arizona 550GT.
Steve Phythian, Managing Director of CPS, invests in his third Océ Arizona production system.
“People know our reputation for fine art finished products,” says
Andrew Bruce, Head of Printing at CPS Ltd. “We do a lot of museum work, which stipulates extremely high quality printing, and now more and more of our work is being printed on the Océ Arizona which has a fantastic print quality and is super-fast. Really fine detail is achieved and 6pt text can be read easily. One of the additional benefits is that we can now do white ink on the machine. Registration between the colour and the white is exceptional, which was the case when we did full-size colour proofs for Dulux on the Arizona.” CPS, which has been an Océ customer for 15 years, was using the
latest Arizona within 24 hours of it arriving in Manchester. “We needed to print 42 8ft by 4ft panels, which was done on the same day,”
said Andrew Bruce. “The same job on the Arizona 250 would have taken four days and about two and a half days on the Arizona 350. Production speed has rocketed and the quality is just as good.” For further information visit
