The company, which has grown from a traditional repro print house into a firm that specialises in signage, vehicle wrapping, point-of-sale, exhibitions, stationary and shop-fitting, purchased the DYSS X7-1624C from machine supplier AD/CAD following a trip to last year’s Sign and Digital UK exhibition.
Initially, G4 was looking to invest in a cutting table that would complement its arsenal of Konica, Epson, Canon and Oce roll-fed, small and large-format flatbed digital printers. When a job required the use of foamex, corrugated board or acrylic lettering for signs, they were either forced to outsource the work, or simply refuse the job.
Within days of installing the machine we cut a point-of-sale job on the DYSS in less than an hour”
Since installing the machine, however, G4’s managing director, Darren Jimmeson, says the firm’s output has expanded enormously. He says: “Within days of installing the machine we cut a point-of-sale job on the DYSS in less than an hour. Previously, this job would have been a full eight hours of manual cutting with edge quality and precision that wouldn’t come close to the DYSS. Our decision to buy the DYSS was immediately justified.”
Estimating a saving of around £45,000pa, the DYSS has also opened up many new markets to the business, with G4 citing the machine's ability to cut a vast range of substrates and to handle complicated shapes and geometries as the reason for this.
