Sign printer aims high with EFI VUTEk GS3200

When family-owned business, Hi-Vis Signs and Safety in Newcastle went looking for a new three-metre printer, it saw the ideal solution in the VUTEk GS3200 from EFI.

According to managing director, Brett Watson, the company was looking for a machine offering flexibility, versatility, high quality and high speed. “We do many different styles of printing, so it’s vital for us to have a solution that makes changing from flatbed to roll-fed and back again quick and easy,” he said.

“The GS3200 was the logical choice in terms of capability, quality and productivity.”

The machine, which is distributed throughout Australia and New Zealand by DES, is a 3.2-metre UV-curable flatbed and roll-to-roll hybrid printer. Brenden Dunn, grand format business development manager at DES, believes that its versatility is one of the machine’s strengths.

“From high-quality dpi point-of-purchase to high speed billboards, the GS allows businesses to say ‘yes’ to a greater range of print jobs, increasing revenue potential and enabling fast ROI,” he said.

“The other powerful feature of the GS3200 is its unique multi-layer technology. The ability to print three-layer colour and white in one pass opens up the opportunity to target niche print applications that demand a more creative and artistic approach.”
