Bristol-based printing and signage company 2601 has invested in an InkTec JETRIX LXi7 UV flatbed printer to expand its printing capabilities.

The company, which offers a range of printing, branding, and signage services, says it purchased the machine to offer more versatility and a higher output volume to its regional and national clients.

The LXi7, which features Konica Minolta printheads, offers a top speed of up to 78sq m/h. The GUI of the machine is designed to be user-friendly, coming with a range of automated functions including automated safety systems.

The printer comes with InkTec’s patented UV inks, which are reported to offer high colour density and adhesion capabilities. The LXi7 is designed to print at professional quality on a wide range of rigid materials including foamboard, acrylic, glass, and wood.

Speaking about the purchase, Steve Williamson, director of 2601, says: “We’re proud to work with a mix of renowned national brands and dedicated local businesses, and this addition allows us to expand the possibilities of what we deliver.

“For us, versatility is key, and the JETRIX LXi7 meets that need, offering flexibility and quality across a wide range of materials.”

Julian Mennell, national hardware sales manager at InkTec, adds: “The team at 2601 is exceptional, with an evident passion for large-format printing. We’re excited to see how they push the boundaries of their work with the JETRIX LXi7.”
