Lustalux’s sign & graphics assistant, Jonny Borg, with the company’s new Mimaki CJV300 printer/cutter
Preston-based Lustalux has added a Mimaki CJV300-160 printer/cutter to its machine line-up in response to increased demand for wide format print.
Purchased through authorised Mimaki reseller, Granthams is capable of delivering high quality outdoor durable print at speeds of over 100 sqm/hr onto vinyl, banner, canvas, paper and other substrates.
Coupled with the recent enlargement of its business premises, the window film and commercial graphics company has also taken on new staff to ensure its service offering remains high for clients new and old.
‘The business has gone from strength to strength throughout 2015,’ said Richard Lancaster, director of Lustalux. ‘Due to an increase in client wins, we were struggling to keep up with the surge in demand for printed graphics, murals and wallpaper. By investing in the new Mimaki CJV300 wide format printer, we’ve excelled our service offering which means we can continue developing towards becoming a leading UK provider of graphics and signage.’
With a print width of 1.6 m and running Mimaki’s SS21 low solvent inks, Lustalux is utilising the CJV300’s high quality of output to expand its portfolio.
‘The new Mimaki has replaced our previous eco-solvent printer/cutter and was chosen because it offered us a higher standard of quality and detail,’ said Mr Lancaster. ‘It came highly recommended to us, although we already recognised Mimaki as the market leader.’
Doubling the company’s office space has afforded Lustalux the opportunity to deliver new products for its blue-chip client base, as it serves both trade print and direct accounts.
