HP has asked Graficomp Group of companies to help with masks for indigent and rural farming communities in outlying Gauteng districts. Both companies are covering the cost of printing and mask manufacture to assist with this Corporate Social Initiative.
These masks are urgently needed during the COVID-19 outbreak, and Graficomp is printing these on the HP Stitch S300, which ensures jobs can be completed at ultra-high speeds.
The HP large format team asked Graficomp to offer the service using their Stitch S300 printers. Graficomp’s Graham Roy explained the critical need for these masks in under-privileged communities. ‘This project started on a small scale with leftover materials to make masks for in-house staff use at Graficomp, and the potential was realised to a point where they could be mass-produced using the HP Stitch S300, to support the communities who can’t afford to source or buy masks at this critical time.’
The masks are double-lined, manufactured and printed on a stretch fabric with adjustable straps for comfort and ease of use with a replaceable filter. As an HP Specialist partner, Graficomp has an HP Stitch S300 in their demo centre, as well as one installed at their client SUB STITCH (Pty) Ltd in Johannesburg, making it possible to undertake this crucial project to support underprivileged communities.
