HP Designjet L28500 - New wide-format Latex printer introduced by William Smith
Wednesday, 01 February 2012 00:00
The range of HP Latex printers supplied by prominent HP channel partner William Smith has been further expanded with the introduction of the new wide-format HP DESIGNJET L28500. The printer has an addressable width of 104 inches (2.6m) and has been engineered to meet the needs of sign and graphics and digital printing companies with a broad range of application requirements and higher production levels, and in particular those companies who perceive textile printing and soft signage as key areas for future growth and prosperity.
As with all HP Latex printers, this latest offering incorporates the unique and patented HP Latex Ink Technology. As a consequence, there is no out-gassing requirement since the printer emits only a minimal VOC (volatile organic compound) content. Furthermore, the technology contains no hazardous air pollutants and does not generate harmful ozone emissions during the printing process. This eliminates the need for expensive fume extraction or special ventilating equipment, thus adding to the appeal of migrating from hazardous solvent-based systems to this faster, cleaner, safer and ultimately more cost-effective water-based printing technology.
The printer is fully compliant with all relevant EU safety and environmental standards. Significantly, these include GreenGuard certification that will enable odourless printed output for the more sensitive environmental applications such as those found in hospitals, educational establishments and other locations where standards of health and safety are paramount.
Key production enhancements of the HP L28500 printer include an ability to print on a much wider range of media (including fabrics used in textile printing and soft signage applications), improved indoor and outdoor durability by comparison with eco-solvent systems and an ability to produce double-sided prints with automated registration across both sides to enable immediate progress to finishing. Increased uptime is achieved via automatic low-maintenance printing and remote management, while the presence of an intuitive touch screen enables easier control of printer settings and workflow. The printer is compatible with both MAC and PC systems, has a one-year warranty and is supported by the comprehensive HP Care Pack Services package.

Tecman - Providing bonding solutions to the sign industry
Wednesday, 01 February 2012 00:00
Having worked alongside the sign industry for over 20 years, Tecman has fine-tuned its range of adhesive tapes to offer innovative products that combine best performance with the most cost effective solution. This includes products from well known brands such as Tesa, Scapa and 3M as well as developing their own brand, Bond44.
Some of Tecman's most exciting developments are within the foamed acrylic range - tapes that are designed to replace spot welds and rivets. These new generation foamed acrylics are designed to bond at temperatures below freezing and others designed to bond low surface energy plastics.
Tecman believe it's vital to understand the technology behind each adhesive tape, along with knowledge of the materials and methods used in today's sign industry. Kevin Porter, UK Manager explains: "Tecman are not just about distributing tape, we provide a complete bonding solution for businesses. We get a clear, practical understanding of a project and then our trained technicians select the most effective bonding solution. It requires an in depth knowledge of today's materials and manufacturing methodology along with an understanding of our products and the way they perform."

Metamark MDP-H now available in more widths
Wednesday, 01 February 2012 00:00
Metamark MDP-H, like any Metamark media that's part of the company's digital portfolio, prints brilliantly whether using solvent, EcoSolvent, UV or Latex ink. All MD class materials have a generous appetite for ink so liberating more of the printer's available gamut and they dry easily too. Where Metamark MDP-H presses home a distinct advantage is in the area of applications it can address.
Metamark MDP-H features a novel adhesive system that's expressly formulated to be broadly compatible with so-called apolar, or low energy surfaces that are known to challenge conventional adhesive. Products and substrates featuring low energy surfaces are commonly encountered. Moulded wheeled bins, re-cycling receptacles and sports goods such as canoes are among the most frequently seen.
A typical self adhesive material applied to such a surface will, in a short time, react with the plastics and plasticisers present causing the face film to shrink. This leaves an exposed outline of adhesive that soon picks up dirt and lint and mars the result. Metamark MDP-H builds to a tight ultimate bond and doesn't shrink back so its adhesive stays exactly where it's supposed to be - under the super-white, 100 micron face film.
Metamark MDP-H is now available in 760, 1370 and 1600mm widths. Samples are available free upon request from This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
