T
rade Signs UK has paid tribute to its recent double investment in new HP Latex machinery.
The company has worked exclusively for
years with HP Latex printers and has now taken stock of the new HP Latex R530 and HP Latex 830W printers. The HP Latex R530 is a compact, all-in-one rigid and flexible printer that can run at a top speed of 24m sq/hr in indoor mode, and also has the ability to print on boards up to 1.6m wide and as thick as 5cm. In tandem, the company also took
delivery of a new HP Latex 830W, which has a top printing speed of 31m sq/hr in outdoor mode and can also print in both colour and white. Offering a maximum media width of
1.63m, the machine allows users to create ICC profiles with an HP Embedded Spectrophotometer.

Ben Gregory, managing director of Trade Signs UK, said: “Our business model is value and service, and the HP printer range enables us to give our customers an exceptional service. “Turnaround time on HP print products is so much faster than any other production method.” The company has also benefitted from HP PrintOS, a cloud-based operating
Ainsely Signs set for triple growth with new Nyala
system, which has allowed the company to keep production running longer, further improving its turnaround time. Mr Gregory added: “HP PrintOS enables us to remotely monitor jobs, meaning we can load things overnight and keep an eye on crucial production information such as ink levels and technical issues, while it also offers us a solid indication of where we are with our usage.”
