Vancouver, BC - With the addition of the Canadian manufactured UV Flatbed from Gandi Innovations and Oce Canada, PacBlue has expanded their digital imaging capabilities to include "Printing Directly to Substrates"

With the UV Flatbed we're now able to print directly on traditional mounting boards like FomeCore, Sintra, Gatorboard and Coroplast. The exciting news is we can also print directly on wood, glass, metal - even tiles - it's only limited by our customers' imagination.

This 6 colour device has a printing bed that accommodates materials up to 5'x10' with a maximum thickness of 2 inches.

An outdoor print life of up to 3 years is achieved by using UV cured inks - to increase the print life or add a glossy finish, a laminate or coating can be applied.

The speed and savings of printing directly to substrates opens up new markets for longer runs of signage, banners and other uses. We're currently working on a large project that will have us printing directly to both sides of 100 doors that have 8 different designs! Because the UV Flatbed is a digital printer you can produce unique designs with as much, or as little, colour that you desire without concern for costly setups that are inherent with other printing processes.

"PacBlue is known for pushing the envelope of what's possible. The addition of the UV Flatbed not only gives us amazing capabilities; it produces the final product at an impressive speed without compromising quality." - says Jonathan Colley, owner and President of PacBlue.

Vancouver, BC -With the addition of the Canadian manufactured Solvent Grand Format Printer from Gandi Innovations and Oce Canada, PacBlue has more than doubled the output width of their printing capabilities.

PacBlue has been a market leader in producing large format graphics up to 60 inches wide with a variety of printing technologies that include: inkjet, photographic and solvent - The Jeti 3318 now allows PacBlue to print to a Grand width of 10½ feet.

The phenomenal speed allows PacBlue to print larger runs more efficiently and cost effectively than before. We no longer imagine printing a 10'x10' banner in mere minutes - we're doing it!

The Jeti 3318 prints on vinyl, backlit, fabric, canvas and paper materials in roll widths up to 10½ feet wide. The software compensates for skewing due to media stretching - now that's printing with confidence!

The printer has revolutionary technology that produces accurate double sided printing. The Jeti 3318 has a high-definition back-lit camera on board that ensures perfect registration front to back. This capability ensures back-lit signage will have brilliant colour density that can be viewed at greater distances.

An outdoor print life of up to 3 years is achieved by using solvent inks - to increase the print life or add a glossy finish - a laminate or coating can be applied.

This 6 colour device prints at resolutions up to 600 dpi, producing fantastic output quality previously not available at this size.

"Before we installed the Jeti 3318 Vancouver was unable to produce grand format printing with such high resolution and amazing colour - plus, it's incredibly fast!" - says Jonathan Colley, Owner and President at PacBlue.
