    Sample prints all look great we do a lot of printing for fuel companies and the uv ink is very resistant to chemicals and spirits.

    We was initially given a 6-8 weeks delivery which was not great but now it’s even worse..

    Come and take a look round Sign UK. There are other machines that print just as well, some of which are very close to the Hybrid stand and can deliver in a much shorter time.

    Can’t make it to Sign UK this year too busy with lots of trade orders. I keep saying next year I must go may be next year we will have a stand at the show…

    We don’t have the printer yet but I was told it’s being tested for certification for wrapping. Mimaki already have a UV ink that is approved and certified by 3m for wrapping so they already have the technology.

    I have tested some small samples and they have stretch without any problems I also saw a video on YouTube of a wrap using the ucjv when we get the printer I will do some of our own test and update everyone here.
