their investment.
The latest innovations mean that it is
now possible to print indoor and outdoor
orders on the same machine using low
colour, eco-solvent SX inks. These provide
the right print quality and UV stability
for outdoor use but are also low odour
certified for use in an indoor environment.
Colour quality is no longer an issue
either – at least not with the most
innovative of these devices. Combining
high viscosity inks with advanced print
heads, the latest printers now maintain
accurate density, enabling vibrant colour
and sharp photo quality detail. Industrial
high frequency greyscale print heads
increase the quality and reliability of
the printer and print results. High ink
pigmentation creates saturated prints
for backlit applications opening up the
potential of printing light frames for
technical textile and backlit materials over
floor graphics and point of sale. Innovative
Dynamic Drop Printing (DDP) technology
accentuates fine details and delivers
smooth gradients and rich, glossy colours,
even at high print speeds.
New applications for these ground-
breaking new print devices include light
frames for technical textile and backlit
materials over floor graphics, point of sale
(PoS) and point of presentation (PoP),
wallpaper, posters, window graphics with
clear or transparent film, banners and signs
for hotels, shops, malls and theatres, art
reproductions, department store displays,
exhibition displays and many more

Positive prospects
All business sectors have their ups and
downs. That’s as true of the large format
printing industry as any other. Not so long
ago it was in danger of turning into the
dinosaur of the commercial print world,
best with a raft of environmental and
performance challenges. Today, thanks
to the latest technological advances,
that’s all changed. Armed with the latest
technology innovations, large format
printing businesses can face the future
positively, confident in their ability to meet
the demands of an increasingly competitive
market and capitalise on a growing array
of profitable opportunities.
