Customer Stories

Following a positive year of growth and new staff in place to take the business forward in 2015, long-standing Mimaki customer; Rocket Graphics has added a third JV33-160 to its already extensive print capacity as it gears up for further expansion.

It’s always refreshing to hear of businesses that are reporting positive signs of growth and a general upturn in business and one such company is Lincoln-based Your Print Partner who, as a result of increased demand and an ever expanding product range has found it necessary to add to its already impressive kit list.

Sign D Sign is a company that prides itself on going the extra mile. Big on fabrication, its 25 years’ experience has seen it acquire some impressive kit which has been lovingly cared for to keep it in tip-top shape and when they invested in a Mimaki CJV30-160 from local reseller Dennis D Evans last summer, it immediately became an integral part of their printing setup.

It’s not every day that a modest family-run business gets the call from a globally renowned rock band, but that’s exactly what happened to Falkirk-based Brooklyn Graphics when it was asked to print a bass drum skin for indie-rockers Kasabian, prior to their barnstorming headline set at this year’s Glastonbury festival.

Plus2Print is a printing company with a strong online social media presence and acquires a substantial portion of its business through platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Ironically, when it came to investing in a Mimaki CJV30-100, the purchase came about through more ‘Old School’ means!

York-based Harrisons Signs has been manufacturing signage since the early 1900s and currently offers a broad range of services including interior and exterior signage solutions, exhibition graphics and vehicle liveries.

Modestly describing themselves as a ‘cottage industry’ rather plays down the fact that over the past 14 years in business, Banners For All, of Farnham Common in Buckinghamshire has become acknowledged experts in the field of soft signage.

Somerset-based marquee specialist Boldscan recently invested in a new TS34-1800A dye sublimation printer supplied by specialist Mimaki reseller RA Smart. It will be used to personalise fabric interiors, café barriers and 3D feather flags required for systems supplied by the company to the hospitality industry.

Building a brand that stands out from the crowd is some achievement but with its signature pink hippopotamus, Wakefield based Hippoprint has an identity that’s as strong as its product. When that product is an absolute guarantee of next day delivery on its ever expanding range of printed materials, it’s important to keep to it, so company owner Anthony Wood is totally committed to investing in the right systems and technology.

The first Mimaki JFX500-2131 in the UK has been snapped up by Victory Signs, a diverse sign and display producer with an industrial edge.
