of being able to make changes to bespoke printed wraps during the instillation process. If the customer decides at the last minute to make a change, we can deliver without any disruption to our customer deadlines.
“The fast drying Ricoh AR Latex inks has also been a major contributing factor in speed, as the prints come off the
Ricoh’s fully cured, completely dry and ready to use.
“We went to Atlantic who have serviced and supported our Mimaki JV33 printers previ- ously, because they are the major national supplier of the Ricoh latex printers.”

Prince William Pottery celebrate 80 successful years thanks to Roland DG machines
Founded in 1937 by Ray Sanders, Prince William Pottery was initially established as a wholesale glass and china distribution busi- ness.
As automated printing processes became more effective, and demand for commemo- rative and promotional ceramics grew, Prince William Pottery started specialising in supplying high-quality printed mugs. They have continued to invest in new machinery to stay ahead of the curve; first focussing solely on screen printing techniques, before turning to dye-sublimation in order to tap into new markets, says the company.
They bought their first Roland DG machine, a SOLJET PRO 4 XF-640, in 2009 to sup- port the growing customer demand. Want- ing to increase productivity even further this year, the company invested in a second Roland DG machine, the Texart RT-640 Dye-Sublimation Printer.
Peter Sanders, Director of Prince William Pottery said: “As a small business, when you rely on only one machine, a single issue can mean your whole livelihood grinds to a

halt. But with RolandCare we’re able to deal directly with Roland DG to resolve any prob- lems extremely quickly. When it came to buying a second machine, I knew I wanted another Roland DG because of the quality, superb service, and aftercare.”
Armed with the RT-640 and XF-640, and open to expanding its growing Roland DG
family of machines, Prince William Pottery has ambitious growth aspirations for the year ahead.
