London based display graphics specialist, Displayways Ltd, is seeing a positive impact on its business following its recent purchase of a Jeti® 3300 grand format solvent inkjet printer.

 

In its core business areas of exhibitions, museums and retail, the Jeti® 3300 will help Displayways to open up new markets and offer its clients new and innovative ways of delivering display graphics.

 

Peter Sheldrick, Projects Manager, Displayways, said: We are very exited about the opportunities that are open to us following the purchase of the Jeti® 3300.  Over the last year, we have had a number of successes and have now expanded the business premises.  The Jeti® 3300 has been brought in to help boost our productivity and broaden the types of printed products we can offer to both our current clients and prospective customers.  It means we can do things in different ways to suit the customer’s individual needs whilst maintaining competitive prices.  It also gives us the additional capability and capacity needed to complete even more jobs in house.

 

“ The reason that we chose the Jeti® 3300 above other products is because it can print high quality images onto a wide variety of media, which is ideal for the sort of work we do.  We can deliver exhibition displays using the traditional methods, for example, printing onto rigid PVC panels, or alternatively more recently developed method of printing onto canvas, which can then be stretched around frames.  The choice and flexibility we offer is valued very highly by our customers.”

 

The Jeti® systems are quickly becoming the most popular super-wide solvent printers, and with an ability to print high quality images up to 3.2m wide at speeds up to 58m2 per hour, the Jeti® 3300 is one of the fastest super-wide printers currently available. The Jeti® 3300 can print to a variety of substrates including reinforced vinyl, pressure-sensitive vinyl, canvas, fabrics, mesh and paper. The solvent-based inks offer ultraviolet (UV) durability of up to three years depending on the substrate and the environment in which the print is used, finishing will further extend the print life.

 

Powered by the Onyx PosterShop RIP, the Jetis have 8GB of storage allowing thumbnail previews of image files. The systems feature unique 4- and 6-colour combination printing at 600 dpi apparent resolution, using three-year durable inks. 

 

The systems also feature a unique Hi Vacuum System, which ensures smooth ink flow by removing air bubbles automatically. The ink is kept suspended in the heads preventing any over flow. Additionally the ink by-pass system allows ink to re-circulate should normal ink flow become irregular.

 

Wilbert Verheyen, Business Unit Director of Wide Format Printing Systems at Océ UK, said: “We are delighted that our equipment is proving so beneficial to Displayways, at what is a clearly very interesting time for the company.  The Jeti® 3300 is perfect for the type of work they produce and we are confident that it will enable them to continue exceeding their customers’ expectations.”
