In December of 2010, Dave Higgins took a giant leap of faith when he purchased the Harrisburg, PA, SpeedPro franchise after years spent running a veterinarian distribution company.
Today, SpeedPro Harrisburg — which has five full-time employees, a couple of part-time workers, and some contractors — offers a vast range of services, including signage, vehicle wraps, graphics, displays, ad specialty items, and more. His customer base was initially made up of advertising agencies, architects, interior designers, and other print businesses, but has expanded to include a wide range of traditional commercial businesses across the nation.
The diverse customer base requires versatile print equipment. “You name it, we can pretty much do anything. And pretty much everything is printed on our EFI (Booth C8107) Pro 16h printers,” Higgins says. His company’s hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll UV LED inkjet printers generate high-quality results on a wide range of applications.
The EFI Pro 16h prints flexible and rigid substrates up to 65" wide and 2" thick, with four colors plus standard white inks. It delivers resolutions up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi. SpeedPro Harrisburg keeps throughput high thanks to the printer’s ability to deliver production-quality at speeds up to 311 sqft/hr.
