Print & Display elevates high-end printing capabilities with swissQprint Kudu
E
ast Midlands company, Print & Display, has invested in its printing services with the addition of the Kudu flatbed printer.
The Kudu has significantly improved P&D’s production speeds, operating eight times faster than its old machine. Additionally, the Kudu’s 1350dpi resolution and ability to print delicate facial and skin tones is proving perfect for high-end fragrance units and point of sale displays.
Key to P&D’s decision to invest in the Kudu was its alignment with the company’s sustainability goals. The certified low energy consumption of only 2.2 kw/hr, and Greenguard
Gold-certified inks will help achieve lower carbon print solutions for customers. Ian Maxfield, regional sales manager at swissQprint, said: “swissQprint is dedicated to combining technological excellence with sustainability and performance, and the Kudu is a prime example of that.
“Its energy-efficient operation and eco-conscious features will contribute to P&D’s sustainability initiatives while elevating their printing services provided to clients. We’re delighted to help them achieve their green goals.” Garry Hatfield, director at P&D, added: “The introduction of the Kudu is a milestone for us. It’s not just an upgrade in our printing capabilities; it’s
a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. “With the Kudu, we are now equipped to offer our clients printing solutions that are both high-quality and eco-friendly.”
