The Tauro H3300 HS UV inkjet wide format system can customise projects that require variable printing. For example, images, cities, names and logos can easily be changed in a single print run without stopping production. Agfa’s Asanti workflow software automates the entire printing process, preparing files, grouping jobs and loading calibrated print modes (CPMs) for optimal image quality and colour consistency.
Revo has been doing the impossible for its clients for 50 years. It was seemingly operating under the radar as Groupe DPI when owner Pierre Pepin set sights on making the newly branded Revo known across North America as the company that makes clients’ dreams come true. Rêve means dream in French, and his daughter Érika Pepin plays a big part in this vision.
Founded in Drummondville, Quebec, Revo initially specialised in silkscreen printing. Pepin expanded the company by leveraging strategic acquisitions, made organisational refinements and built a new state-of-the-art plant. Today, Revo serves industrial, retail, transportation, spirits, commercial, education, and government market segments. The father-daughter team recognised a need to optimise print production and set sights on the Tauro H3300 HS UV inkjet wide format system from Agfa.
‘Not only are we growing our capabilities but also sending a message to the industry that our Tauro’s firepower will turn around any project for any market segment the next day,’ stated Pierre Pepin, president of Revo. ‘A U.S. client once said I was the miracle guy since Revo could deliver a project when it seemed impossible, too big, or too complicated. We do whatever it takes to exceed our client’s expectations.’
Revo’s boundlessly ambitious team attracts high-end clients who demand dazzling colours, perfect flesh tones and fine details. The Tauro H3300 HS hybrid printer with primer and varnish produces stunning images at 635 x 1200dpi with meticulous execution of shadow, highlights and razor-sharp text in as tiny as 4-point type as used in industrial applications. It offers ‘offset-like’ prints in six colours with smooth ramp-ups over the tonal range for outstanding skin colour rendering, ideal for cosmetic and retail demands.
A heavy-duty, ruggedly built workhorse, Tauro H3300 HS easily handles extreme workloads, multiple-shift operations, and 24/7 printing up to 680sqm/hr and 3.3m wide on rigid or flexible media. Specially formulated, high-pigmented GREENGUARD Gold-certified Anuvia UV LED inks present vibrant colours and exceptional colour strength.
According to Érika Pepin, who handles business development, the Revo culture is fast-paced, and the team is resourceful, adaptable, and accomplished in urgently doing what it takes to get the job done. The addition of the Tauro will expand Revo’s creativity and productivity. ‘Our goal is to see our client’s vision and bring that to life, no matter the circumstances. This work ethic is in our Revo DNA: we go the extra mile. We go above and beyond to satisfy our clients.’
The Pepins chose the Tauro H3300’s primer option to achieve outstanding adhesion on difficult media. ‘We work with many different substrates, and the primer was a ‘no-brainer’ for us,’ added Pierre Pepin. ‘We use some materials, like melamine or Lexan, that are difficult, and the primer aids in adhesion. Especially with die-cutting or folding, it’s important that the ink sticks to the substrate. The primer also offers weather resistance.’ The Tauro’s primer can be applied on the entire surface area or as a ‘mask’ for printed areas only.
