‘The most bang for the buck’
“We looked at all the high-volume, high-quality superwide-format inkjet presses in the market,” says iTek Graphics Owner John Rawlins, “and while they all offered high-quality printing, the decision came down to which press offered the best combination of price, speed and price per square foot for ink. The VUTEk gives us the most bang for the buck.”
Primary applications for iTek Graphics with its new, 126-inch wide digital press include retail display promotional signage printed on styrene and corrugated plastic. Much of that signage is printed to support a major customer – a grocery chain that relies on iTek Graphics for its printing needs at locations across eight states.
Printing at speeds up to 125 boards per hour, the VUTEk press has eight channels, including two white inks, and delivers premium-quality, grayscale imaging on a broad range of flexible and rigid substrates up to 2 inches thick. A three-quarter automated material handling system installed with the press ensures faster loading and off-loading to maintain high productivity.
