InkTec Europe’s Jetrix LXi320 UV LED Flatbed Digital Printer Produced Knockout Anthony Joshua Graphics For Ringcraft
Ringcraft have been producing, manufacturing boxing rings for over 25 years now.
They have had a JETRIX LXiR320 printer for several years and frequently use it to produce the graphics for many of the national, international fights and other events.
This included the Anthony Joshua fight in December 2020.
This fight was one of the only sporting events in that pandemic year to actually happen with a live audience.
However restrictions did mean that only 1k people were allowed to watch in Wembley Arena compared to the normal seating capacity of 12.5k.
So, to accommodate this significant reduction in numbers the venue needed to be properly dressed with graphics to compensate.
As a result, in the region of 50 – 60 banners were produced over the course of the month, some of which were 6½ by 2m in order to fill the spaces.
“What was great was the JETRIX LXiR320 just got on with it. It’s awesome! It kept churning through the jobs, consistently producing fabulous quality and perfect colour vibrancy. Then when it was done, it was ready and waiting for the next project.” Mike Goodall, MD, Ringcraft
About InkTec
We initially kicked off way back in 1992 in South Korea winning many awards and certifications for our ink products as we expanded along the way.
Including being certified since 2003 for ISO14001 Environmental Management System amongst others as highlighted in our Insight into InkTec’s Quality Management.
Jumping forwards to 2006 the European arm of the company was established in Witney, Oxfordshire in order to give closer support to our UK and Europe customers.
This is where we established ourselves as a leading manufacturer of inkjet ink, JETRIX printers and media for the indoor and outdoor display and signage applications.
JETRIX was established in 2008 and officially launched in the UK and across Europe in 2010 with now over 150 machines in the UK. While this is a little taster, if you want to know more dive into our headquarters website for a more detailed insight into our history.
Unlike other manufacturers, who may outsource inks and related parts, InkTec’s Korean production plant is self-developed, using own technology and vast experience from formulating machines to automated packaging equipment.
We are super proud of the fact that we research, develop and manufacture the majority of our products.
While our current priority in Europe is large format printing, our headquarters are steadily broadening our reach and expertise working on a number of innovative projects.
This includes the exciting new arena of Printed Electronics.
Simply put this the creation of transparent electronic ink with conductivity. It can be applied in various scenarios such as Touch Screen Panels, Display, PCB, EMI Shielding, Printed Memory, Solar Cell, Lighting, Sensor, RFID, Signage, and Bio.
Let’s face it with Information Technology like it is and how rapidly it advances the opportunities are far reaching.
