Welcoming the HP Latex 1500 and the Summa F1832

On Monday, 24^th September 2018, two large lorries arrived at the Perfect Colours Innovations Centre in Sheffield. Each contained an exciting new grand format solution. One was an HP Latex 1500, which features a 3.2m print width, production speeds of up 74 sqm per hour and inkjet quality of 45 sqm per hour. The versatility of Latex technology is well known and the 1500 has the additional advantages of dual-roll functionality and the ability to print on a vast array of materials, including textiles and back lit films – all at an affordable price with low running costs.

No grand format workflow solution would be complete without a flatbed cutter, and the other lorry that swung into the Innovation Centre loading bay contained a brand new Summa flatbed F1832. As well as being one of the most robust and price-competitive flatbed cutters on the market, it’s also one of the most versatile – and the Innovation Centre machine features a router system and additional tools including a kiss cut tool, a tangential module, a crease cutting tool and a double edge cut out tool, among many others. The unit supports a 72” media width and is accompanied by the SummaFlex Pro and Packlib software.

These units will be up and running immediately and will available for live demonstrations from Monday, 1^st October. Please call our sales team to arrange a bespoke demonstration, or visit us on one of our open days: 9^th, 10^th and 11^th October, 8.00 am until 8.00 pm.
