FaberExposize UK Becomes Largest Agfa Dye Sublimation Partner In Europe
Leeds-based wide format display specialists FaberExposize UK, who also trade as Northern Flags, have made a major equipment investment as they look to capitalise on the growth of the last year.
The Yorkshire print company, who weathered the pandemic with a versatile pivot strategy, welcomed the installation of the new Avinci CX3200 printer.
The printer, acquired as part of the long standing partnership with Agfa, can produce dedicated roll-to-roll dye sublimation print at a speed of up to 270 m²/h.
About The Avinci CX3200
Agfa’s dedicated dye sublimation roll-to-roll printer enables the creation of vibrant high-quality prints on polyester-based fabrics up to 3.2 m wide, including a broad range of in- and outdoor soft signage applications, as well as interior decoration.
The Avinci CX3200 is a highly reliable and convenient soft signage printer that is able to print directly to fabrics, as well as onto transfer paper.
It uses an off-line calender unit to ensure perfect fixation.
For FaberExposize UK, the key need was the faster backlit print times, and the new machine means they have doubled capacity for this product, allowing them to deliver the same high quality while fulfilling increased demand.
The new printer can print up to 3.2m width and its fast capabilities on transfer papers will allow the company to increase its work in soft furnishings as well as Retail and Exhibitions.
The addition of the new equipment is just the latest investment from the ambitious and fast growing business.
It follows a pre-pandemic £500,000 investment, with the construction of a new mezzanine floor for the specialist exhibition finishing department and a roster of additional finishing equipment.
Managing Director of FaberExposize UK & Northern Flags, Iain Clasper-Cotte, said:“When we moved in to these premises in 2017 we never intended to become the UK’s largest Agfa dye sublimation print partner, let alone Europe’s largest operator! The new Avinci CX3200 is our sixth large format printer and will allow us to deliver even better quality, agility and flexibility to our growing book of clients.During the pandemic, we saw a huge increase in demand for our rigid signage but now that businesses are reopening after the pandemic, we’re also seeing a real desire for backlit and frontlit print too. For retail, commercial interiors and exhibitions it’s a great way to wow with vibrant print and our new addition from Agfa will ensure we can deliver the best around.”
