A 3 Day Turnaround Using Our HP Latex LX850

Against the clock

We hit the ground running with this one. The pressure was on to get this project completed on time, we had just three days to turn it around. The job involved a lot of self-adhesive vinyl, laminating, mounting, posters and some pretty big banners, double sided 3m x 3m pieces along with a couple measuring 15m x 2m.

Keeping to a tight deadline

The team pulled together and came through with the goods. A small hiccup saw a panel missed, but that was fixed with an early Saturday morning phone call and an emergency print completed and installed before opening time.

The self-adhesive panels were printed on our LX850 latex printer, which allowed fast production that could be handled and finished directly off the machine immediately after printing. This isn't possible with a traditional solvent print, which needs time to fully dry and out-gas when done correctly. This was a great project to break our new printing machine in with, and it performed outstandingly.

FAQs

Why is latex printing faster to finish than solvent printing?
Latex prints can be handled, laminated and mounted directly off the printer, while solvent prints need time to fully dry and out-gas before they can be safely finished, which adds to production time.

Can large scale signage be produced on a tight deadline?
Yes, with the right equipment and team coordination, large scale jobs involving multiple banners, posters and vinyl panels can be turned around in a matter of days when needed.
