Out There Media opts for L65500

Out There managing director Kent Wiggins (pictured, right) first saw the latex ink printer at a Celmac open house in March, before making the trip to PacPrint last month to have another look.

 

“When I saw the printer in action at the open house in Melbourne I was impressed by its capabilities,” Wiggins said. “Seeing it again at PacPrint clinched the deal.”

 

In addition to producing Out There’s current staples of promotional material, outdoor signage and vehicle wraps, Wiggins says the printer will help the company expand into other markets.

 

“We are keen to pursue work we haven’t tackled before like backlit light boxes and larger signage,” he said. “We also plan to introduce a range of products printed on recyclable media.”

 

Out There Media has replaced two existing 1.8 metre solvent printers with the new 2.64m L65500. 

 

“We are producing work faster with the new printer than what we were able to with both of the older machines,” said Wiggins. “And we still have capacity to grow our turnover”.

 

Wiggins also cited environmental factors as motivations for choosing the L65500.

 

“From an OH&S perspective, we are able to provide a safe, VOC-free environment for our staff which is fantastic. We looked at UV flatbed machines, but even with ventilation and low solvent inks there are still residual vapours.”

 

“From a marketing viewpoint, we are able to competitively offer a high quality product that is recyclable. In the current economic climate, environmental concerns seem to have taken a back-seat to budget cuts, so this is a message we are keen to take to market.”
