The Suffolk-based display specialist is the first company in the UK to install an Anapurna H3200i LED, investing in the new machine to replace an existing Agfa Anapurna M2500i.
Neil Saville, founder and managing director of Stylize Display Graphics, explains that the company is a long-term user of Agfa machines and had no qualms about returning to the company again for its latest purchase.
“We first invested in an Agfa Anapurna M1600 nearly ten years ago,” Saville says, adding: “That printer was still going strong several years later when we traded up to an Anapurna M2500i. Then, barely a year later, we heard that Agfa was about to introduce the H3200i LED and decided straight away that we just had to have it.”
The LED lights will provide a cost saving on replacement bulbs and now there’s no wasted time waiting for the machine to warm up”
The Anapurna H3200i LED offers a dual roll-to-roll option and flatbed capability, with users able to produce both indoor and outdoor work up to 3.2m wide. The device also features air-cooled UV LED lights that enable printing on thin heat-sensitive materials and provide savings on energy.
Kane Saville, one of Neil’s two sons that works at the company, will be operating the new machine. He comments: “We use a great deal of acrylic material and often print white on the reverse. This work tends to be produced at best quality mode but even so the output speed is still impressive.
“The LED lights will provide a cost saving on replacement bulbs and now there’s no wasted time waiting for the machine to warm up. Ink adhesion is excellent and there is no need for a promoter. Then, most importantly, the quality is fantastic.”
Each time we have invested in a new printer we have looked at all the options but I have to say that Agfa has always won the business”
Since its foundation around 25 years ago, Stylize Display Graphics has evolved from a relatively small operation to a company that employs ten staff and offers services such as banners, vehicle graphics, exhibition graphics or very large outdoor signage.
Damon Saville, founder Neil’s other son, also speaks positively about the new Agfa and how it can help the company growth further: “Each time we have invested in a new printer we have looked at all the options but I have to say that Agfa has always won the business. Added to this, we can rely on Agfa’s service and support, which is excellent.
“If space was not at a premium we would invest in another Anapurna H3200i LED, one as a dedicated flatbed and the other as roll-to-roll.”
