PressOn triples efficiency with CMYUK

Rochester-based PressOn has paid tribute to its EFI VUTEk QS2-Pro supplied by CMYUK Digital, saying it has allowed the firm to reduce the number of digital platforms in its facility from more than half-a-dozen to just two

Joint founding managing director, Andy Wilson, comments: “In truth, we hardly know we own the VUTEk QS2-Pro as it works day in, day out completely flawlessly and we can’t fault it. 

“Its versatility is unmatched and we can be printing canvas in the morning, polyester at noon, wood at lunchtime, and foamex in the afternoon, plus a lot more in the way of variety, including a large amount of vinyl film.”

Wilson goes on to say that many jobs formerly printed using his latex printer have now been migrated very successfully to UV-curable ink. 

The machine is installed with Fiery proServer, which the firm claims makes job processing fast and efficient, and is the perfect complement for the VUTEk QS2-Pro’s production capabilities. 

The versatility of VUTEk platforms confirms how adaptable UV-curable inks can be across a vast range of rigid and flexible materials”

CMYUK Digital’s Robin East explains how the combination flat-bed and roll-fed UV-curable machine can streamline throughput and enhance productivity: “PressOn is a classic example of a busy company successfully optimising its printing facilities. 

“These days prudent businesses don’t want to free up large amounts of space or resources for multiple machines when one or two will be equally, if not more, productive.” 

He concludes: “The versatility of VUTEk platforms confirms how adaptable UV-curable inks can be across a vast range of rigid and flexible materials.”
