Mimaki distributor Hybrid Services ran the prize draw at the show and picked a winner at random. Martin Cherry (known as Stan) of Ebbsfleet Printing Solutions wins flights, transfer, and accommodation for four people at a villa at La Manga Club, a 1,400-acre golf resort between the Murcian Hills and the Mediterranean Sea.

“We were delighted to not only receive Ebbsfleet Printing Solutions’ order for the new Mimaki, but to pick Stan’s name out of the hat as well,” says Hybrid’s national sales manager, industrial products, Stuart Cole, adding: “The prize draw was open to everyone who demoed a Mimaki during the show with one of our resellers, providing an opportunity for visitors to get up close and personal with the latest technology.”

Cherry comments: “Sign and Digital UK was a great opportunity for us to audition new kit and we were quickly convinced the Mimaki flatbed was the right machine for us. Since the installation, the JFX200 has being running virtually non-stop, delivering stunning quality print at quite remarkable speeds.

“Being able to print direct to rigid substrates makes our whole operation much more productive and profitable. Even operators not particularly familiar with Mimaki kit have found it easy to use. To be honest, our only regret is that we didn’t invest in one sooner!”

Cole adds: “We’re sure he will have a wonderful holiday and we look forward to a great future of working with Ebbsfleet Printing Solutions to ensure they get the very best from their new printer.”
