Reading based sign specialist Sign Wise UK has purchased a new Mutoh ValueJet 1624 from Colourgen reseller, Random Choice Solutions. The machine will work hand in hand with Sign Wise’s existing Mutoh printer, which it bought 15 years ago. It was in fact, the first company to purchase this new model when it was launched in January 2012.
Owner and managing director Gerry Poulton said, The business has been steadily growing this year and we have always found the Mutoh to be a useful printer. The theory was that we could run one job across two printers simultaneously. Of course, the reality was that the inks were different on the two printers due to the changes in ink formulations over the past 15 years. But it still means we have two excellent printers and we couldn’t function anywhere near as well without the ValueJet now.’
The new printer has enabled the company to take on extra work and means it can turn work round much faster. Since it got the VJ-1624, it has bought four other new printers, which means it now has nine wide format printers and increased business turnover by 25%.
The new four colour, ValueJet 1624 (64″) wide format printer has a new drop on-demand printhead with 1440 nozzles to deliver outstanding performance at up to 29m2 per hour as well as improved print quality at higher speeds. The ValueJet 1624 is targeted at the production of long term indoor and outdoor applications with Mutoh Eco Ultra ink.
