Pinders Pioneer Superwide Digital Print Technology

Pinders investing GBP200,000 to make their wide format print capability the most advanced in the region.

Pinders are upgrading their cutting edge VUTEK superwide format digital printing press, doubling the company's output and improving print quality.

The new VUTEk QS2000 seven colour printing press will be located at Pinders' Attercliffe copy shop and supercedes the company's existing original six colour press, specially imported from USA in 2005.

For the first time the high-definition press will be able to print white ink, allowing Pinders to print window graphics and other transparent materials more easily.

The pioneering upgrade will also continue to allow Pinders to produce print work across a wide spectrum of promotional and marketing initiatives from personal work to huge advertising billboards and building wraps.

The superwide format press produces full coloured, finished, weatherproof graphics directly onto virtually any surface up to two metres wide for projects including photographic backdrops, vinyl banners, packaging, display boards, construction industry boards and point of sale material.

David Whiteway, joint managing director of Pinders, based on Moore Street, said: "The acquisition of this machine further establishes Pinders as one of the region's largest, most innovative and progressive digital printers.

The upgraded machine is twice as fast as the original, meaning a far increased print capacity and improved lead times for our customers.

"The original VUTEk press we aquired in 2005 has been a massive success and this latest upgrade not only places us at the forefront of technology in large digital and bespoke finishing, but offers Pinders' customers impressive solutions to their creative ideas both for one-offs and volume work.".
