MEYSTYLE RELIES ON ROLAND VERSAART RS-640 FROM PRINTMAX FOR INTERIOR DESIGN APPLICATIONS
As part of a 12 month campaign, Roland-reseller printMAX is introducing some of its more diverse customers. The first, London-based interior decoration firm Meystyle, has worked with printMAX for five years having purchased its Roland VersaArt RS-640 back in 2009.
Russian-born sisters, Maria and Ekaterina Yaschuk, set up shop in London back in 2001. With a strong design background - both sisters graduated from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design - the collaborative design process lead the company down a successful and innovative path. Meystyle is unique in its approach to interior design. Specialising in wall coverings, the sisters embrace both old and new technologies and design concepts into their products. The resulting designs are easily noticeable due to their take on materials vs technology, incorporating LED lights and Swarovski crystals into wallpapers along with materials not necessarily associated with wallpaper, such as leather.
In early 2009, Meystyle's business was growing but the pair needed a way of bringing their bright designs to life through printing without compromising the quality and vibrancy that they were reputed for. The inks would need to be reliable, high quality and as strong in colour as their designs. With this in mind, Maria Yaschuk approached Roland’s reseller, printMAX.
“The Roland VersaArt was the perfect solution for Meystyle as far as we were concerned. With its impressive colour reproduction and variable droplet control it can produce high density printing with vibrant colours and flawless reproduction,” explains Chris Martin, sales manager at printMAX.
With the high quality reproduction values required by Meystyle the Roland VersaArt was the perfect option. “The Roland Intelligent Pass Control, included in the majority of the Roland print range, further enhances image quality by precisely controlling dot placement between passes, allowing for banding-free and high quality images,” continues Chris Martin.
Following the installation, Meystyle was more than satisfied with the Roland, large format print investment. “The Roland VersaArt has really enhanced our business. We are able to offer more variety at higher frequency by incorporating digital print into our production. The added bonus of taking on the VersaArt as our first printer was how easy it was to not only operate but also maintain. Following our training with printMAX we felt really confident in using the Roland to its’ full potential,” comments Maria Yaschuk, Meystyle co-founder.
Five years later and the Roland VersaArt is still going strong; Meystyle continues to produce high calibre wall coverings, now with the opportunity to add even more diversity to their designs.
“Knowing printMAX are only a phone call away is a real reassurance; we also value the quick turnaround when it comes to ordering consumables for our Roland. Whilst we are still happy using our Roland VersaArt, should the time come to upgrade we will return to printMAX for sure!” concludes Maria Yaschuk.
