M Partners Wide has announced the first order in the UK for a 3.2m DGI Velajet VE3204D, which will go to KEP Print Group for its Tamworth site.

"The DGI product is going to provide us with more flexibility in our already extensive wide-format digital department," comments Mark Plowman, managing director of KEP. "This is a market that we know especially well, given our long and successful history in production of point-of-sale materials."

The Velajet VE-3204D is a four-colour machine able to output at 60sq m per hour in production mode. The DGI engine will be used by KEP for its high-quality poster work.

“Naturally we are delighted to have confirmed our first DGI order – the first of many, we believe – as this is a wide-format device with some fantastic features," adds Gary Doman, head of sales for M Partners Wide. "Perhaps the biggest sales argument is that we are able to sell this product as a cost-effective solution. That is something that everybody needs and few suppliers can truly offer.”
