RJDA install UKs first HP FX600

14th June 2010

A recent visit to Sign UK in Birmingham turned out to be more of a shopping spree for RJDA and this week back at HQ we installed the UK’s first HP FX600 Latex machine which has caused quite a stir!

Walk up close, and the first thing that will strike you is the outstanding image quality and the
rich, saturated colors. The print is every bit as durable and light-fast as you get from low solvent printers.

The second thing you’ll notice is that the prints have no odor. At least nothing beyond whatever faint smell is inherent to the media. That’s because the prints emit extremely low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

This is especially important for our clients that have signage where odor might be a concern such as food stores, restaurants, medical facilities, fitness centers etc.

The third fabulous fact is that HP Latex inks are water-based. They are free of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) and require no special ventilation system to deal with printing emissions.

Furthermore, no cleaning fluids are required to maintain the printer and the waste from the printer is
also considered non-hazardous, plus it has recyclable consumables and components

This printer can produce signage for a diverse range of indoor and outdoor applications on a wide selection of flexible media, and has outdoor display permanence up to 3 years unlaminated.

“We always strive to stay ahead of the game and as a company we are striving to be increasingly environmentally conscious so this machine is a perfect match for us and for our customers” said Rob Walker, MD at RJDA, after taking delivery of the machine from Doug Gilbertson of City & West End Solutions.
