Art & Sea hails game-changing Mimaki CJV330-160 from Soyang Hardware
T
he Mimaki CJV330-160 solvent printer/ cutter has been hailed as a game-changer by Art & Sea, despite having only been in place for just a few weeks. As Art & Sea has grown over the years, owner Leonie Woolf has grown her initial inventory from a single Summa cutter to adding in-house printing last year by investing in a Roland VG3-540 printer. After the early success of its venture into print, Art & Sea recently took the decision to bolster this further and went in search of a second printer. A conversation with Damien Martin, hardware development manager at Soyang Hardware, revealed that the CJV330-160 was a good fit for the company’s evolving requirements. Ms Woolf said: “The 60% speed
increase with matched quality to the VG3 was just what we needed. “At the same time, we were gaining a wider printing width with the 1,610mm. It seemed the perfect solution to our backlog while at the same time offering further benefits with a wider print such as vehicle wraps.”
Art & Sea took delivery of the machine in mid-July and was already printing within just a few days of it being installed. Despite the printer having only been running a matter of weeks, Ms Woolf said there has been a marked improvement in production. Ms Woolf added: “It’s been a game changer. It’s already saving us time and we’ve been super impressed with its speed and colour quality. It was definitely the right decision for us.” Art & Sea provides everything from vehicle graphics, wraps and rally car
The Mimaki CJV330-160 was installed in July
livery to signage and shop front graphics – all from two dedicated office units.
Verve Display acquires two Agfa wide format printers T
o improve production capacity, Verve Display has purchased two new Agfa wide format printers. The printers purchased were the Oberon RTR3300 roll-to-roll and the
Jeti Mira MG2732 HS LED flatbed machines.
The investment in March improved the company’s production capacity and sustainable credentials, giving it the
confidence to take on larger projects while retaining quality with continually tightening deadlines.
Simon Perkes, founder of Verve Display, said: “The extra capacity provided by the new Agfa machines allows us to now print all of our work in-house.
“The Oberon roll-to-roll has two sets of print heads, enabling it to print twice as fast without compromising on quality.
“Additionally, it has allowed us to switch from UV bulbs to LED curing, reducing our energy usage. “Over the years, Agfa has provided exceptional support to Verve Display, which is why we continue to choose them as our print partners.” The Jeti Mira HS LED is a dedicated flatbed printer that utilises UV LED curing to deliver high-quality prints on a wide range of materials.
