Described as a “gamechanger” by Calvin Hedley, joint owner of Digital 23, the Mimaki UJV55-320 is a 3.2m-wide UV LED roll-to-roll printer. The investment has allowed Digital 23 to print all its textile work in-house.
Hedley explains: “The Mimaki UJV55-320 is a gamechanger for us due to its size, speed and versatility. What it’s allowed us to do is increase our product range and our production throughput time.
“We were previously outsourcing our fabric printing, with a four-day turnaround time. Now we can print as soon as a job is approved and the job is completed on the same day, saving us three days of production time. It’s a win/win for sales and production.”
A relatively new business, Digital 23 was set up three years ago in 2019 by Hedley and his business partner David Pape.
