Grangeprint takes UK’s first Roland Texart RT-640M

Nottingham-based Grangeprint has installed the UK’s first Roland Texart RT-640M dye sublimation with the aim of boosting its turnover from soft signage.

The printer - which enables direct-to-textile and indirect sublimation printing - was installed last month by Quality Print Services (QPS), which also installed Nazdar NDT600 series sublimation inks on the machine. Paul Evans, director at Grangeprint, said: "The new Roland machine will enable us to offer our corporate clients soft signage and external feather flags. We are confident that it will help boost our turnover significantly when we expand our business with the launch of our flags and banners offerings early next year."
