Metropole aims to drive growth with EFI investment

Superwide graphics provider specialist Metropole has opted to purchase two new printers from EFI as part of an effort to gain an advantage over competition in the market.

The EFI VUTEk FabriVU 520 soft signage printer and EFI VUTEk LX3 Pro hybrid roll/flatbed LED inkjet printer are now in place at the firm’s site, with associate director Patrice Boquého explaining that the two machines will also offer the company more “creative freedom”.

The VUTEk FabriVU 520 can run at speeds of up to 157sq m/hr in point-of-purchase quality mode and has a maximum speed of 446sq m/hr, as well as a top-level resolution of 2400dpi.

Meanwhile, the VUTEk LX3 Pro can print on substrates up to 5.08-cm thick in eight colours plus white with true 600 dpi or 1000 dpi resolutions.
