A+A Graphics Canada (Scarborough, Ontario) has invested in new technology from equipment supplier and North Amercian wholesale sign supply specialist Grimco Canada. The recent installation of a 6-colour HP Scitex FB750 UV Inkjet Flatbed Printer and a Colex Sharpcut Flatbed Cutting System will allow the wide-format specialist to maintain quality while reducing turnaround times.
Grimco offers large-format and grand-format solvent, aqueous and UV printers plus a host of sign supplies – including traffic signs and blanks, substrates, digital print media, sign vinyl, inks, sign frames and stands and more. The company has locations from coast to coast in Canada and throughout the U.S.
The 750’s efficient workflow lets users load, print and collect media simultaneously for faster turnaround. Print speeds are up to 85 m²/hr. (915 ft²/hr.). The 750 can print on almost any rigid and flexible media up to 64mm (2.5”) thick by up to 302 x 250cm (98″ wide) and offers double-sided printing, white ink, textured effects, matte/gloss and full bleeds. Three-litre HP ink supplies enable greater productivity and print quality for indoor applications and longer printer runs. Users can load up to four cut sheets at a time with full bleed printing. The use of UV Curable inks will help keep A+A’s workplace free from offensive odours without any special ventilation.
The Colex Sharpcut Cutting System includes a fixed knife, oscillating knife and router for a multitude of applications. Optional add-on tools allow printers to customize their cutter to suit their specific needs and workflow. The Sharpcut’s production power and quick tool change facilitates on-time delivery, even for the most complex of jobs – such as those involving rigid materials. The gantry’s X/Y axis movement is driven by a rack-and-pinion system that increases the longevity and endurance of the cutter compared to a belt-driven system. The system is powered by servo motors and requires minimum maintenance. The Z-axis is a ball-screw-driven mechanism also powered by a servo motor that guarantees high performance, accuracy and reliability.
