Mimaki's exclusive UK and Irish distributor, Hybrid Services Ltd will again bring a series of innovative new wide format sign and graphics products to Sign & Digital UK. A tranche of new printers includes the fast-selling Mimaki SUV; a unique product that delivers a highly durable, glossy finish that is instantly dry, allowing users to trim, finish, pack and apply graphics as soon as they exit the machine.
"Sign and Digital UK is the first domestic exhibition for us to show the new Mimaki SUV, so we're expecting huge amounts of interest," says Hybrid's national sales manager, John de la Roche. "It's a printer that really has to be seen to be fully appreciated, so we're looking forward to visitors getting up close with the extraordinary print from the Mimaki SUV at Sign & Digital UK."
Another first for the exhibition will be the UK launch of the Mimaki UJV500; a roll-to-roll UV printer capable of high production volumes that is aimed at the wallcoverings, vehicle wrap and display graphics markets. Its 1.6m width and LED curing are ideal for printing to flexible substrates and with substantial feed and take-up devices, long unattended print runs are easily achieved.
Hybrid will also show products across Mimaki’s full range, including flatbed UV printers, outdoor durable print and cut machines, latex and textile printers. "The breadth of capability Mimaki has is unparalleled," confirms de la Roche. "Visitors to Hybrid's stand at Sign & Digital UK will be presented with innovation across the whole range. Our focus is on assisting print companies in adding new revenue streams and profit centres to their businesses. New technology frequently plays an important part in that process so alongside our reseller network, we’ll be offering expert advice and real-world examples throughout the show."
The Hybrid stand is situated directly inside the entrance to the exhibition, to be held from 30th April to 2nd May 2014.
