GSW wins best large stand at Sign Africa Cape Town
Graphix Supply World Mimaki Africa Win Best Large Stand Award at Cape Town Sign Africa 5-6 May 2010 And Take The Industry By Storm With The New Machine Launch
Graphix Supply World, Africa’s leading digital solutions supplier, is pleased to report a most successful and exciting show with many sales and the exciting launch of the new Mimaki UJF-3042 UV flatbed desktop printer and Mimaki TX400-1800 high speed high resolution textile printer.
GSW Mimaki Africa exhibited a full range of new technology from the best international suppliers in the digital world. The stand covering over 100 square meters, showcased all the best offerings to keep businesses profitable and ahead of the competition beyond 2010.
Manufactured by Xanita, the impressive stand structure, furniture, POS/POP displays, brochure stands, shelving and more, highlighted the importance and move towards using sustainable media and printing with the environment in mind. X-Board is a versatile, lightweight board which offers designers and manufacturers an eco-friendly and VOC-Free alternative to MDF, particle board and petrochemical- based foamed-core boards, typically used for building short-term displays and structures of all types. Panels can be UV inkjet printed directly or decorative laminates and vinyl can be applied over the board. They boards are able to be mitre-cut, folded, curved or shape cut, and once no longer in use, can be re-pulped and recycled. Cut by the Aristo high-speed cutter (at Xanita) and printed on the SwissQprint UV printer (at Long Life Digital), GSW displayed what can be achieved with their quality digital solutions. The sky is the limit!
Many sales are reported with the star of the show being the new Mimaki UJF-3042. The eagerly anticipated launch of the new machine attracted big crowds of attendees admiring the impressive print quality of the machine on substrates such as laptop covers, mobile phone covers, USB sticks, torches, pens, business card holders, PVC ID business cards, fridge magnets and more. This UV flatbed desktop printer is the world’s first compact and affordable tabletop printer, to print on everything up to 50mm thick. Mimaki Engineering Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and cutting machines for the sign/graphics, industrial and textile/apparel markets introduced the UJF-3042, a desktop UV LED printer for short run production and imprints of industrial products, novelties, cards and nameplates, electronics covers as well as label and packaging applications. Apart from its versatility the UJF-3042 excels in low investment costs, very good value for money and print quality.
The Primera label printer range attracted a lot of interest, as did the launch of the 3M affordable digital media available as of next week, from all GSW branches. The affordable new economy Scotchcal retailing at R14 sq/m is selling before the container has arrived. Place your orders now to avoid disappointment!
An increase in sales and interest was apparent at the dedicated textile area of the stand, in preparation for FIFA world cup football competition. The new Mimaki TX400-1800 high-speed printer, TX2010 direct-to-textile flag printer, Polyprint Texjet T-shirt printer and numerous heat presses were all sold at the show. The vivid branded GSW Mimaki carpets displayed an extremely effective branding solution, printed on the Dupont printer at ZaPrint by Louis Nel and team.
