Stocksigns's Bruce Main and Simon Cottrell with the first HP Designjet L26500 sold in the UK

UK-based printer distributor CWE Solutions has sold the new HP Designjet L26500 large-format latex printer to Surrey-based signage manufacturer Stocksigns – the first such machine to be sold in the UK.

"Our new HP latex printer will increase our business opportunities thanks to the advantage of being able to print on an even wider media range using the more versatile HP latex ink," says Stocksigns managing director Bruce Main. "Our working environment will also improve due to there no longer being the solvent smell of our previous printers."
