First Mimaki JFX200 sale made within minutes of Sign & Digital UK debut
Graphic Station Ltd seals the deal with Mimaki distributor Hybrid Services minutes after show opens
Amsterdam, May 8, 2014
Mimaki today announced the first worldwide sale of its newly-launched Mimaki JFX200-2513 UV LED flatbed printer.
Unveiled at Sign & Digital UK, by UK distributor Hybrid Services, the JFX200-2513 UV LED flatbed printer was snapped up by UK general commercial printer Graphic Station Ltd just minutes after the show opened its doors.
The Romford business, founded six years ago by partners Paul Fox and Stuart Vaile, selected this system through Mimaki reseller, i-Sub Digital, to expand its wide format print services into the fine art and photographic sectors.
Mr. Fox explains: “We set up Graphic Station as a commercial operation, but I come from a wide format background. About 18 months ago we invested in our first Mimaki wide format system and demand has just grown and grown since then.”
To meet this increased demand Mr. Fox reviewed available solutions: “When we heard about the new JFX200 we knew it would be perfect to help us to continue to expand. It will allow us to be a lot more creative and facilitate our move into the fine art and photography markets.”
