West-Camp Press of Columbus, Ohio, has added its second roll-to-roll EFI Vutek GS5000r UV inkjet printer.
"Superwide-format printing has continued to grow since we installed our very first Vutek printer seven years ago," said Ed Evans, West-Camp's CEO. "Signage and graphics work has expanded to represent 20% of our business, and the growth will continue with the GS5000r printers because they broaden the range of applications we can produce."
The new Vutek model installed at West-Camp prints in up to eight colours, plus white, and at resolutions up to 1000dpi. EFI Fiery proServers installed with the printers give West-Camp's operators the ability to manage printing modes, carriage speed, curing, shutter modes and other essential details while receiving real-time printer status, job status and consumable usage updates. The Fiery proServers include a parallel-processing production Rip and colour management tools, as well as default media profiles and automated workflow features.
West-Camp's stance on advanced technology extends to its workflow infrastructure. The company recently upgraded its workflow operations with EFI Pace MIS software, and bolstered its web-to-print operations with EFI's OPS product. The web-to-print, MIS and Fiery platforms can complement each other through an integrated framework that streamlines business management tasks across the entire organisation.
