FASTSIGNS UK, Kingston Upon Thames, provides one of the most comprehensive range of signs in the UK. With graphic experts on hand to come up with creative solutions to any visual communications challenge, telling brand stories with strong, powerful visuals is what they are known for.

After investing in an EFI H1625 LED from the experts on large-format printers, CMYUK, they were able to print direct to foamex and dibond at a more competitive rate, giving them an edge over competitors.  

Sarah Winterbottom, Senior Digital Sales Consultant at CMYUK, comments, “Mark visited one of our Open Days in Shrewsbury to see how well the EFI H1625 ran his files and materials, and, following a demonstration of the printer as well as one of our cutting tables, decided this was the right combination for his business.”

Mark Phelps, Managing Director at FASTSIGNS UK, Kingston Upon Thames, says, “Signs are used for a wide range of things, from telling brand stories and maintaining compliance, to generating awareness of products and services and we now have the equipment to be top of our game. Most of the competitors in our local area do not have the capabilities we have so it gives us an edge when tendering for different projects. We are able to provide the right solution every time.” 

It has radically changed the way they work day-to-day, cutting vinyl and laminating cost dramatically and speeding up production time. They are now able to create low-cost point of sale material and have had a lot of call for printing C-W-C for double-sided window graphics. 

Robin East, Group Director at CMYUK adds, “The H1625 was perfect for them –key features were definitely the print direct to substrate, colour-white-colour and lower ink cost. It was a great investment – the results have been fantastic.”
