Fusion Digital are the proud owners of the first EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340 In Africa, purchased from Graphix Supply World, a distributor of EFI’s wide format, VUTEk and Quantum portfolio.
Fusion Digital co-founder James Johnston said, ‘We attended drupa 2016 where we got to see the machine in action, and were very impressed. We also already own EFI VUTEk printers and are aware of how well they work – they’re the ‘Rolls Royce’ of the industry. In comparison, you have to get eight machines to keep up with the speed and quality of one EFI press.’
Reshma Ramlugan, co-founder, Fusion Digital, touched on the benefits of the machine and the opportunities it opens for the business: ‘Speed without the loss of quality was the biggest factor when deciding to purchase the machine. The press allows us to do things much quicker and therefore meet extremely tight deadlines. We can also print on a larger spectrum of uncoated and coated materials, whereas in the past we could only print on coated.’
The EFI VUTEk FabriVU series of fabric printers allow users to:
– Print dazzling displays, high-density backlit signs and more with ultra-high resolution four-colour printing.
– Print direct to textile or indirect via transfer process, enabling print shops to offer more materials and save money by using lower cost materials.
– Create soft signs and fabric displays that retain the drape and soft hand customers prefer.
– Produce graphics that can be washed and dried without wrinkling, folded without leaving marks, and reused.
Fusion Digital and Graphix Supply World have a long-standing relationship, which began in 1998, and Johnston is happy with the service they have received. ‘Graphix Supply World has a far greater amount of technicians than other suppliers, and they are very well-trained,’ he said.
‘EFI’s broad product portfolio gives us the perfect range of wide format printers that covers every budgetary and production requirement. This enables us to provide new and existing customers with the most comprehensive choice from a single manufacturer,’ stated GSW Managing Director Robert Franco. ‘Our customer base is becoming increasingly diverse in its needs. Our clients are now demanding the best inkjet technologies across, plus they expect from us robust, high-quality and reliable machines, which we can offer through our partnership with EFI.’
