Imagine Photographics snap up first HP Scitex LX800

New Zealand company, Imagine Photographics, the first customer in the South Pacific to install the new HP Scitex LX800.

The Mosgiel-based business purchased the machine through HP channel partner Jenrite. Darcy Schack, managing director, and his business partner, Phillip Amende, (pictured below) said that they were impressed with the machine’s size and its green credentials, which was a strong selling point for the company.

“First and foremost this printer has a sound environmental proposition which is extremely important to our company’s philosophy and to our clients. The printer’s 3.2m wide capacity means we can produce outdoor billboards and other signage on a green platform which is fantastic,” said Schack.

“We’d been looking at the HP Latex inks technology and its environmental credentials, but we really wanted a machine that could produce billboards. Now we have it.”

Since installing, Schack has been pleased with the machine’s performance. “We knew we could move this machine in and start printing straight away and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” he said.
