Essex Based Full Vision Purchases 2 X EFI Vutek M3h Printers To Facilitate UK And International Growth
1st July 2026 : Full Vision, the Essex based leading large format print and event branding provider for the events industry, is ramping up its UK and European production power with a major EFI technology upgrade supplied by CMYUK.
“The EFI investment from CMYUK is all about giving our clients even greater speed, efficiency and capacity as we continue to grow,” says Sam Tanner, Chief Executive Officer, Full Vision. “We work in a very last-minute world, and our clients need us to say yes, when others cannot. The new EFI M3h printers give us the headroom to keep doing that as volumes increase in the UK and across Europe.”
Founded in 2016, the company has grown to more than 60 full-time staff with a £16 million group turnover. Today, Full Vision delivers event branding, large format graphics and visual solutions for many of Europe’s leading exhibition organisers, venues and global brands.
Efi Engines
These trusted workhorses, still consistently delivering superb quality, are being transported and installed at Full Vision’s Spanish company in Valencia.
“Bringing the new M3h printers into our UK facility, and having our older printers go to Spain, the increase in our daily production capacity is going to be significant,” says Sam.
EFI Continuity
Full Vision considered other manufacturers’ high-end printing equipment, but Operations Director, Jason Holt, having worked extensively with CMYUK and EFI over many years, recommended that the company remain with the platform.
This protects the efficiency of established production workflows, software, in-house expertise, and ensures a homogenised production experience between the UK and Spain.
EFI VUTEk M3h
The EFI VUTEk M3h is regarded as the worthy successor to the GS series, the most successful hybrid printer model in EFI’s history.
These new-generation hybrids deliver tangible benefits on multiple fronts.
Higher speeds and increased productivity will allow Full Vision to handle greater volumes, be even more responsive to ever decreasing lead times and last-minute requests, which are fast becoming the norm.
It offers production to POP quality printing, outputting up to 40 boards per hour, managed by continuous media loading detection, and dual-roll printing that handles different jobs on each roll.
It also enables the business to reduce outsourcing, and by bringing more jobs under one roof, improving operational control, and increasing margins.
Sustainability
Energy-efficient, the M3h platform aligns with Full Vision’s sustainability strategy that includes solar-powered electricity, and waste-wood heating.
The investment also supports the company’s strategy of bringing more production in house across its UK and Spanish operations.
The M3h increases uptime and productivity with instant on/off lamps and less maintenance. It drives down operating costs with less energy consumption and fewer consumables.
Media and ink waste is significantly reduced too, due to consistent colour output and simple operation. The increased productivity will help to reduce overtime and the need for 24-hour shift patterns, aiding cost control and improving staff welfare.
Into The Next Decade
Moving forward, the company is well placed to capitalise on its momentum with EFI firepower firmly at the centre of its next phase of growth.
The combination of high-performance EFI technology and the strategic way that capacity has been balanced between the UK and Spain gives the business the speed, flexibility, and capabilities it needs to take on more complex, high-value work.
Underpinning this is Full Vision’s USP: a service culture built on responsiveness, value, and attention to detail, supported by bespoke workflow and client management systems that make briefing, proofing, and approvals fast and seamless.
Says Sam, “With this EFI investment, we’re not just adding firepower; we’re building the capacity, efficiency and sustainability we need to continue supporting our clients as Full Vision grows across the UK and Europe.”
