Graphtec cutter sales convert to huge price reductions
At a time of mixed predictions on the economy and a general feeling of uncertainty within the sign and graphics industry, Graphtec GB appears to have bucked the trend with the announcement of a huge increase in the sales of its flagship FC8000 and budget-priced CE5000 plotter/cutters. A combination of these increases and the currency fluctuations with the Japanese Yen has enabled Graphtec GB to introduce a new pricing structure that will effectively reduce the cost of some of its key products to sign and graphics producers by as much as 30 per cent. These reduced prices became effective on 1 February and will
remain for the foreseeable future. Typical new pricing starts at £850 (plus VAT) for the CE5000 and £2,795 (plus VAT) for the higher specification FC8000 machines. These are arguably the lowest prices available within the respective classes for these machines. They make entry into the lucrative media cutting sector that much easier and more cost-effective for both entry-level and established end user companies who wish to capitalise on the increased business opportunities now available without an inordinate erosion of vital financial resources during the current economic climate.

APS introduces new speciality signmaking films swatch for 2012
All Print Supplies (APS) Ltd, a leading UK distributor of wide format consumables to the sign, exhibition and display sectors has launched its new 2012 Speciality Sign Making Films Swatch. The new swatch, which is free to all customers on request, offers an extensive sample range of etch glass, reflective, fluorescent, metallised, tuning and anti-graffiti films from market leaders including MacTac, LG and JAC. Says Kevin Wallace, Managing Director, All Print Supplies Ltd: “Our latest swatch profiles the ever-expanding range of
media we can now offer signmakers. This is an area where there is constant innovation from some of the industry’s most trusted brands.” All the speciality films featured in the swatch are available
through APS’s “Buy the Metre” scheme, through which signmakers can buy as much or as little film as they require at any given time. This ensures APS customers can keep their own inventories as low as possible in a period where tight financial management is central to success. “Despite the broader economic turbulence, 2011 was a very positive year for APS and we’ve come into 2012 with a great range of products and a clear focus on driving growth for us and our customers. The broad selection of applications now available in the speciality film sector reflects the demands of signmakers as they try to source applications and products that give their customers a real edge over the competition. This is a very dynamic sector of the market, and we are looking forward to working closely with our customers in 2012 and introducing them to more exciting speciality film products throughout the year,” says Kevin.
