Evolution Achieves High-end, Higher-volume Success with EFI VUTEk LED Hybrid Printer

Electronics For Imaging, Inc. today reported that Northampton, U.K-based graphics production company Evolution has installed an EFI™ VUTEk® GS3250LX Pro LED hybrid roll/flatbed printer. Evolution chose the 3.2-metre wide printer for its speed, quality of build, and low downtime and running costs.

Previously, when its superwide-format graphics work volumes became too large, the company often outsourced to other providers. Now, Evolution can produce that work in-house with a printer that is several times faster than its old flatbed printer.

Although Evolution’s machine operators are new to using the printer, they were able to get trained quickly, taking very little time to start producing high volumes of work – more than 200 2440mm x 1220mm panels a day for clients.

“These are not simple 200-panel runs but a combination of large runs and small off-jobs, as well as back-printed acrylic – a real mix of jobs on various thickness of materials,” Evolution Managing Director Andy Mycroft said. The best the company’s previous flatbed machine could do, according to Mycroft, was 28 panels per day.
