SIGN-TRONIC SHOWCASES UV FLEXIBLE INK AT SIGN AFRICA DURBAN ROADSHOW

Sign-Tronic demonstrated its UV flexible ink at the Sign Africa Durban Roadshow, taking place from 14-15 March at the ICC Durban. Printing and vacuum forming with solvent ink was developed and patented by Adrian Wolman of Sign-Tronic in 2002.

Sign-Tronic has now developed high resolution UV ink, that is manufactured in South Africa for high resolution printers that can print on any flat substrate without having to treat the substrate. ‘Normally the ink can not bend, it cracks. Our UV ink is flexible and can be applied to any substrate,’ said Adrian Wolman.

With this world-first you will now be able to print on self-adhesive vinyl which is flexible enough to be applied to vehicles. Other properties of the Sign-Tronic UV flexible ink include: adhesion to perspex, bendabilty without cracking, excellent colour gamut, vacuum formability and excellent outdoor durability (a minimum of three years).

Get to the Sign Africa Durban Roadshow to see this world-first technology in action and take home a sample.

MIDCOMP HOSTS SUCCESSFUL WORKSHOP ON "PRINT AND CUT BEYOND THE ORDINARY"

MIDCOMP HOSTS SUCCESSFUL WORKSHOP ON "PRINT AND CUT BEYOND THE ORDINARY"

Midcomp hosted a highly successful flatbed printing and finishing presentation at their Demonstration Facility in Randburg today. The meticulously planned event brought together all aspects of flatbed printing, digital cutting, software solutions and substrates with a healthy mix of great applications examples.

International and local guest speakers conducted short presentations, followed by equipment demonstrations  (Océ 550XT Flatbed Printer, the Zünd G3 L2500 Digital Cutter, PackZ 3D Design Software and Polytech Vacuum forming equipment)  outlining the production of a variety of finished items on show.

From  POP standees and displays using Xanita, fluted board packaging boxes, lenticular  and 3D film prints and eye-catching displays on substrates like Plexiglas Mirror and Gold Satinice, everything was produced from scratch before the live audience of over 65 delegates.

‘Why an event of this nature?’ we asked Rob Makinson from Midcomp.  ‘It’s simple, to showcase the endless opportunities a combination of printing and finishing offer. Businesses are often conservative about capital equipment purchases and unsure of the ROI. With this function we introduced them to applications from the basics to the more unique products where they can truly differentiate themselves and increase profits.’

Each company received a sample pack containing a selection of display samples, neatly packaged in a Xanita X-Board carry case that was produced on-site. Even the cocktail tables, brochure folders, desk display give-away’s and the pizza boxes that freshly baked pizzas where served in, were printed and finished by the Midcomp team. Very little used on the day was not produced internally.

‘Certainly seems like a winning recipe…  Take a flatbed printer, add a digital cutter and some brilliant design software, mix in a selection of versatile substrates and presto… profits in the making,’ added Makinson.
Midcomp wishes to extend a big thank you to the following suppliers for their support and for making this event possible.

•    Océ – Display Graphics
•    Zünd  UK – Swiss Digital Cutting Systems 
•    Evonik – Plexiglas
•    Maizey Plastics
•    Xanita
•    Polytech
