Focus on Wide Format Printing
Your Print Specialists There has never been a better time to get creating with a Business in a Box
Working from home is a reality that is fast
becoming the new normal. Your Print Specialists (YPS) has launched the Business in a Box to help people set up a complete business that can operate from home. It consists of an Epson SC-F500 digital inkjet printer, a PixMax heatpress, a Singer heavy duty sewing machine and a starter kit of thread, transfer paper and inks. For creatives and entrepreneurs, getting
products and ideas to market can be restricted by costs, space, skills and, sometimes, financial barriers. This is before you even think about getting your dream of working for yourself off the ground. YPS’ Business in a Box provides the opportunity to bring your ideas to life affordably, with a small footprint and with no specialised skill requirements.
The Business in a Box bundles were to be launched alongside the Your Print Institute hubs that were due to open initially in Newcastle, Manchester and London. While these openings are on hold until the outbreak of COVID-19 is under control, the concept of a cost-effective complete solution for a home printing business is potentially a source of hope for people looking to develop a new source of income.
Alison Murray has recently purchased the Business in a Box in order to support a hobby that is fast becoming a home-based business. Based in Central Scotland, where she has a dog-
HP Produce truly incredible applications
Over the past year HP has refined and expanded the flagship HP Stitch and Latex printer lines, with many customers adopting these technologies to produce some truly incredible applications.
HP Stitch is a ground-breaking new textile printing system. Its versatility allows print service providers (PSPs) to produce all manner of applications on a single machine. HP Stitch can print soft signage, decor, upholstery, staff uniforms and promotional items. As an industrial dye sublimation system, HP Stitch is built for serious production, with smart tools to boost productivity and minimise downtime. It delivers exceptional quality, durability and the fastest colour matching in the industry – its vivid colours and deep blacks create eye-catching work.
HP has also added productivity advancements to HP Latex, a range used across the world for the highest quality wide format graphics. The most recent addition is the HP Latex R-series 2020 Edition, a hybrid solution that prints on both rigid and flexible media in vibrant colours and glossy white. Typical applications include retail displays, window graphics, outdoor signage, thermoforming, interior decor, events and exhibitions, and short run packaging.
This year more and more HP users have explored the benefits of HP PrintOS, a print production operating system built into all HP wide format printers. It features a range of tools to improve and streamline production, improve colour consistency and aid businesses in diversification. Importantly, PrintOS enables remote monitoring for unattended production via an app, allowing PSPs to continue working even when print rooms are not fully staffed.

boarding company, Alison took up photography as a hobby and her interest in it has flourished. More recently, she has focused on a more unusual form of her art. “I am now taking photographs of smoke and then using Photoshop to create unique, colourful images based on the patterns. It is something that I really liked doing and it seems that many others love the images it creates.” To turn this into a
potential on-line giftware business, Alison investigated her options for printing onto various products, from canvas and metal, to cushions, mugs and coasters. “I received a lot of excellent help, advice and encouragement from YPS and I have to say the Epson printer is perfect for me. It is very easy to use and the colours are incredible. I am still in the early stages of using the printer, but I am really looking forward to taking advantage of all the options it gives me.” The Business in a Box is a complete solution that allows people to run a business at home with no added overheads or unnecessary outsourcing. Working from home can become a reality and the textile market is in fast growth, especially for personalised products, including home décor, clothing, promotional goods, crafting and giftware to name a few.
