Producing Poster For World's Biggest Billboard
MacGraphics Carranz International in Manila (Philippines) has produced what it believes is the largest free-standing billboard in the world, standing at 160 feet square.
The machine is really well thought out, from its basic engineering to the subtle attributes, such as automatic capping process.
We'd been seriously considering adding a Jeti Printer since 2004 and the decision was a natural choice because the Jeti complements the other machines in our shop, it was a critical piece of equipment to complete the production shop puzzle." Merritt Graphics ordered the Jeti 3150UV printer because it produces at speeds outmatching anything else on the market, making it possible to produce high quantities with multiple image changes, said Gandinnovations.
That capability gives printers the ability to turn around normally higher-cost projects at traditional screen printing and conventional printing press prices.
Ed Perry explained: "It's a fast machine.
We've got some pretty demanding customers as far as turn-around time is concerned and we can really produce with the Jeti printer." Merritt Graphics said it was impressed with seeing the Jeti perform at tradeshows around the world but seeing it just wasn't justification to actually owning the machine and putting it through the production that Gandinnovations promised, he added.
The company has been printing on demand vehicle graphics, banners and outdoor signage, custom, trade show and POP displays for many years and has earned a reputation for providing big colour with visual impact.
Gandinnovations said that the Jeti 3150UV printer can print direct to substrate up to 2" thick, providing detailed photographic images.
The four-ton machine prints direct to plastics, display panels, trade show graphics, wall murals, poster board, tile, drywall, blinds, glass, fabric and vinyl.
The Jeti printers are made at Gandinnovations' manufacturing plant in Toronto (Canada).
The worldwide sales and service operation is based in San Antonio, Texas (USA) with satellite offices in Canada, Mexico, India, United Arab Emirates and Belgium.
