26th July 2023 - The Lux Group has installed a new Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX UV LED flatbed printer from CMYUK. The investment will drive the company’s next phase of growth across its multiple brands that service both B2B and B2C customers.
It will ensure that the company retains and propels its competitive edge even further in the wedding market and will extend its reach into new events sectors.
“Many of our competitors servicing the wedding market are smaller ‘at home’ producers. We have a real opportunity here to expand and grow to become one of the biggest wedding suppliers in the UK. This has been our plan and so we have invested in UV technology as we know it’s the way forward. There are lots of print shops out there but none specifically that specialise in creating unique designs and large format printing for weddings,” says co-founder Mark Turner.
CMYUK Guidance And Advice
The Lux Group had been in touch with Sue Hayward (CMYUK’s Sales Director, Equipment) for a good year before investing in the Mimaki. It was aware of CMYUK’s social media presence, following it on LinkedIn and personally knew of other businesses that worked with the supplier. “CMYUK has industry credibility. Its local to us as well, which is perfect in terms of support, so approaching them was a no-brainer,” says Mark. “We knew what we wanted a printer to do and once we communicated our requirements to Sue, she directed us to the Mimaki flatbed. We visited the CMYUK showroom for a demonstration and were absolutely blown away with what we saw.”
The Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX is a UV LED flatbed printer offering the unique 2.5D print technology that closes the gap between 2D and 3D applications. High performing, it is designed for users that are seeking high volume production. It can handle a wide range of rigid substrates of up to 2.5m x 1.3m in size and to a thickness of 50mm. It offers a resolution up to 1200dpi and is built on Mimaki’s core technology for exceptional print quality that includes Mimaki Clear Control (MCC), adding value to prints by delivering various high-quality finish options. MAPS (Mimaki Advanced Pass System) reduces banding, while MCT (Mimaki Circulation Technology) prevents pigment sedimentation when printing with white.
“It’s a great piece of kit and looks really cool. We’re really impressed with its speed and capacity. I also can’t get over how easy it is to operate,” says Mark.
