• *NEW* DIRECT-TO-SUBSTRATE VUTEK PRINTER

Digital Imaging Services Ltd have recently purchased a 3.2m wide Direct-to-Substrate, 600 dpi printer. We are the only company in the Midlands with the size and speed capability that this machine offers and only 1 of 3 in the UK.

The new machine expands our print portfolio leading to increased productivity , quicker lead times , even more competitive trade prices and a greater versatility in the service and products that we can offer our clients. The Vutek 320/400 leads the way in new and modern usage of substrates – giving you the edge over the competition.

The Advantages

The Vutek 320/400 brings many advantages to the print industry including the following:

• All graphics can be printed on the same machine giving consistent colour match across substrates as well as accurate front to back registration.
• Capable of printing 93 sq metres per hour, 600 dpi quality
• UV-cured inks reduce the need for lamination and other finishing, give a greater saturation in colour and it also means that a wider variety of uncoated media can be used.
• It can print a variety of substrates up to 44mm thick including Perspex, Glass, Aluminium, Timber, Framed Canvases, Foamex, Box Board, Correx and Kappa Board. We can print up to 3m x 2m board in 1 piece.
• It can also print roll-to-roll on vinyl, paper, PVC, mesh, canvas, backlit graphics and pressure sensitive medias.

Providing you with the Complete Solution in-house

Digital Imaging Services Ltd has been a limited company for 8 years and work closely with Top Level Marketing Agencies, Blue Chip Companies, Exhibition Organiser and Exhibition Contractors. We have always provided the Complete Solution in-house from site surveys and concept design through to production, finishing, collating, packing, distribution and installation. With our new Direct-to-Substrate machine we will still be providing all services in-house but on a larger scale. It also means we can provide a more versatile and competitive package to all our customers.

Following the launch of our new website nearly a year ago, we have been constantly adding new products, case studies and news articles to keep our current and potential customers up-to-date. Please keep your eyes open in the New Year for more new products and important news on our expansion.

• Recent Purchase of Liquid Laminator

Due to our customer demand and the variety of work being undertaken we have recently installed a liquid laminating machine. This is ideal for extending the life of vehicle digital graphics, external PVC banners, flexiface skins and general external signage. This additional service enables us to offer extended warranted products along with a complete trade service.

• Extensive range of digital print machines

Following the recent purchase of new digital printing machines we now own 8 large/grand format machines that enable us to print on a wide variety of substrates for various types of jobs – big or small and indoor or outdoor.  It also means we have increased our overall print capacity in terms of the amount of print we can produce in an hour as well as the variety of substrates we can now print on.

• Expansion of premises

With our increased Marketing effort and successful contract pitches, we have greatly increased our turnover and client base. DIS has been based at Hilton Trading Estate for 5 years and is now looking to expand the existing site to a 15000 square foot manufacturing hub complete with head office and administration cell in-house in order to cope with increased demand.
