UK theatrical industry supplier Prompt Side is the first to invest in the new EFI Vutek FabriVu 340 soft signage printer that debuted at Fespa Digital 2016. Already a user of a Vutek GS3250lx Pro, the company had been seeking a way to add polyester and other fabrics to its portfolio.
Peter Baker, managing director of Kent-based Prompt Side, said: "I am delighted to be at the vanguard of theatrical digital print. This is an exciting time as we expand our range of products and massively increase the creative opportunities available to designers."
Along with the new printer installation, Prompt Side has established a streamlined production workflow with an EFI Fiery proServer platform that provides a common interface for the company to drive jobs on its two Vutek printers. The latest-version proServer installed at Prompt Side helps ensure superior colour management, plus it simplifies the process of applying correct imaging settings based on the type of job being printed. The company's new Fiery system also offers extremely efficient processing, Ripping Vutek print jobs up to 60% faster than previous proServer versions.
