Inkcups launches Helix High Throw Printer
The printer has been designed to accommodate height variations while decorating cylindrical and conical products and is also well-suited to challenging items like balls and planters
The company has worked with a Dublin-based print supplier to test some of its latest products
Producer of construction products and plastics, Brett Martin, has worked with an Irish supplier of digital presses to the print industry in Ireland to test the capabilities of current print and finishing processes.
The print and cutting tests used Brett Martin’s Foamalux foam PVC which was printed on the Epson SC-V7000 UV flatbed printer. The test material was then cut on the Summa F1612 digital flatbed cutter, which is supplied to the market, along with the Epson printer, by digitalprint.ie.
The test took place at digitalprint’ie’s Dublin premises, which is located just two hours away from Brett Martin’s Newtonabbey, County Antrim, manufacturing site.
Simona Firth, product manager for semi-finished plastic sheets at Brett Martin, says: “Digitalprint.ie’s location makes them an ideal testing partner for us. In addition, it was an excellent opportunity to try out the Epson printer that we had not tested before.
“It is important for us to ensure that our products can be successfully processed on the equipment which our customers use and this new collaboration with the team at digitalprint.ie has allowed us to further our knowledge of the processing equipment used within the market.”
The test acted as a perfect chance for the companies to test the print and finishing processes together, especially since it was the first time Brett Martin was able to test any of its semi-finished plastic sheets on the SC-V7000.
Managing director of digitalprint.ie, John Noonan, states: “As an independent supplier of digital printing equipment to the sign and graphics industries in Ireland, it is important for us to confirm that the equipment we are selling works well with the leading brands of rigid substrates, such as Foamalux.”
Noonan adds: “The relationship between digitalprint.ie and Brett Martin benefits both parties as we ensure that our end customers can create the very best quality products.”
