HP today announced that Trycket Mora, of Mora, Sweden, has purchased Sweden’s first HP Scitex LX800 Printer.
Trycket Mora is a family business and was established in 1979 as a screen-printing house. In 2001 the company broke into the wide format market and went digital, specialising in printing outdoor banners and signage for sporting events and ski resorts.
The company will be installing the 3.2m (126in) HP Scitex LX800 Printer for its production and environmental benefits – both from a product and internal production perspective.
“We are expanding our 900m2 facility by 180m2 to accommodate this new printer, so we wanted to make sure that the machine we installed would help create a cleaner working environment”. Said Mathias Hofvander, CEO, Trycket Mora. “Not only do the HP Latex Inks the LX800 uses help reduce environmental impact they also require no ventilation, which will help create a much better working environment”.
The HP Scitex LX800 Printer uses water-based HP Latex Inks, producing prints that are odourless and as well as high quality. Capable of printing graphics up to 3.2m (126in) wide, the HP Scitex LX800 Printer also provides a versatile, large format solution with production speeds of up to 45m²/hr.
The LX800 helps PSPs produce a broad range of high-profit outdoor and indoor applications – including POP displays, light boxes, customised wallpaper and vehicle wraps – that can deliver a fast return on investment. It produces high-quality output with 1200 dpi resolution at production speeds up to 88m²/hr (947ft²/hr) for outdoor billboards and up to 45m²/hr (484ft²/hr) for indoor applications.
Outdoor prints produced on the LX800 achieve display permanence up to three years unlaminated and up to five years laminated and offer scratch, smudge, and water resistance comparable to low-solvent inks.
“Our customers not only want to know that their jobs are being produced in the most environmentally responsible way possible, but they need to be able to re-use the banners time and again. The HP Latex Technology gives us the confidence that the prints we produce will meet these expectations”. Concluded Hofvander.
The LX800 prints on an extensive range of substrates including; HP HDPE Reinforced Banner, HP Outdoor Frontlit Scrim Banner, HP Light Textile Display Banner, HP Wrinkle-free Flag with Liner and HP Heavy Textile Banner. The HP Take-Back programme has also recently been extended to encompass seven recyclable media. This facility will enable Trycket Mora to offer take the first steps to being able to offer a more environmentally responsible services to its customers.
