Lower Costs, Higher Capacity |
|
Over the past five years, new printing technology is emerging that is radically changing how signs and banners are printed. Wide Format, UV Curable Ink Jet printers have rapidly improved in print quality, capacity and reliability to the point that maintaining a traditional shop with a wide format ink jet and vinyl cutter may not be economically viable. “Printing a sign or banner in full color on an UV printer costs less than single color cut vinyl.”
-- Garry Jones, owner Lloyds of Indiana UV curable printers save sign print shops money by reducing the number of man hours of labor while lowering ink and substrate costs. The result is remarkable: full color signs, produced faster with less labor.
Reduced Labor RequirementsSolvent Jet/ Aqueous Ink Jet | Cut Vinyl (two color) | UV Printer | Print graphics on roll vinyl substrate | Cut graphics on roll | Print graphics directly to sign. | Cut graphics from print | Cut additional color graphics on roll | Attach sign to frame. | Apply Overlaminate | Weed out image from vinyl and mask | | Fix printed and laminated vinyl to substate | Fix vinyl to substrate sign | | Attach sign to frame. | Attach to sign frame | | Time to produce:22 minutes | Time to produce:38 minutes | Time to produce: 7 minutes |
Additional Savings on SubstrateUV curable inks are true “print on anything” technology – as long as the surface is flat, the printer generally can print a full saturation, color image directly on nearly any material. Unlike solvent and aqueous print technologies, UV printers don't need special and more expensive substrate. Low Print CostMost UV printers have supply costs that are comparable to an aqueous ink jet printer. One printer, the Digital Legend 72 HUV has a cost less than 28¢ per square foot, placing it on equal footing with single color cut vinyl! |
