Typecraft’s new machine is able to print at speeds of up to 115sq m/hr
The machine replaces a previous Agfa model that Typecraft inherited following its takeover of fellow Cheltenham business Mark Latchford Screenprint back in 2017.
Matt Magovern, sales and production director at Typecraft, says the decision to upgrade was based on how the new printer would allow the company to offer a wider range of applications to customers.
“We also knew we wanted to increase our speed and productivity and the new LED version has allowed us to do that,” Magovern says.
“Day to day we use it to print onto Foamex, vinyl, paper, acrylic and various other different materials. It was key for us to make the move to the LED machine; we don’t have to wait for the lamps to warm up as LED lamps are ready instantly.
“The speed really is the key difference for us; the quality is undoubtedly superior to what we were working with before, but the speed alone is gaining us two hours of production time per day.”
