Focus on Wide-Format Printers Granthams GT Expanding services without adding complexity HP Latex 830W Hero
At Granthams, it’s seeing growing demand from sign makers and print businesses looking to expand its service offering without adding complexity to its workflow. For many, the latest HP Latex technology is proving to be a
powerful platform for growth. The HP Latex 730 and 830 series combine production speed,
outstanding colour performance and instant curing, allowing prints to be finished, laminated or installed immediately. This same-day turnaround is increasingly important in
retail, events and commercial environments where tight deadlines are the norm. One of the key advantages of HP’s water-based Latex inks is its
versatility. From self-adhesive vinyl and vehicle graphics through to
wallcoverings, window films and interior décor applications, businesses can confidently diversify into higher-margin markets. The availability of white ink further expands creative possibilities
for window graphics and coloured media. Sustainability is also becoming a significant purchasing factor
for end users. Odourless, low-emission prints enable customers to produce graphics suitable for sensitive environments such as schools, healthcare settings and retail interiors – opening doors to projects
that may previously have required specialist production. Granthams GT supports customers throughout the investment
journey, from live demonstrations in its Preston showroom to installation, training and ongoing technical support. Granthams GT’s aim is not simply to supply a printer, but to help
businesses build a reliable, future-ready production platform that drives profitable growth.

The world of wide-format printing is constantly changing. Print service providers (PSPs) are looking to adapt to the increasing variety of requests they are receiving, and it’s becoming more and more important to be able to offer more with less. As such, hybrid wide-format printers are growing in
popularity, and this is set to continue, due to their ability to deliver increased media versatility and efficiency when delivering jobs of varying run lengths. With the ability to produce work as both a flatbed and a
roll-to-roll machine, working with rigid and flexible substrates of almost all kinds, they’ve become a huge benefit to PSPs looking to diversify their offering without adding several devices to their roster.
Colorado XL guarantees high quality prints across a range of substrates. With low-energy curing, minimal gel use, and odourless,
durable prints that reduce the need for lamination, the Colorado XL cuts waste and resources. Smart automation and recyclable packaging support
sustainability efforts, while low VOCs and GREENGUARD Gold certification make it safe for sensitive interiors. When it comes to wide-format printers, we’re committed to
delivering high productivity, versatile applications, and reliable quality, all while minimising manual intervention and offering true hybrid modularity – to truly empower PSPs to do more with less.
