Allen Signs first to invest in Acuity Prime Hybrid

UK-based signage and livery company, Allen Signs, is the first business to invest in Fujifilm’s Acuity Prime Hybrid to support efficiency and expansion.

Released earlier this year, the Hybrid is able to handle both rigid and flexible media and it was the machine’s versatility and economic ink consumption that attracted Allen Signs.

Founded in 1965, Allen Signs is a family-run business that has a familiarity with hybrid platforms. Due to this, David Allen, managing director of the company says: “We sought the Acuity Prime Hybrid as an opportunity to explore the Fujifilm brand further. The printer has now allowed us to carry out normal production with minimal issues and excellent quality and ink performance.”

Due to the machine’s versatility, Allen Signs is already using it to print on wall coverings, direct to board, and even on metallic surfaces. Matt Ryder, print specialist at Allen Signs says the team is yet to find a substrate that the machine can’t handle.

Allen also credits Fujifilm for its quick and efficient installation and training, describing the company as “a breeze to deal with”.

Andy Kent, division manager of Fujifilm Graphic Communications UK, adds: “As a result of Allen Signs investing in our Acuity Prime Hybrid, the company has seen significant increases in print quality and a reduction in costs, whilst expanding its substrate selection. It’s fantastic to see the company exploring new business opportunities.”
