FESPA 2026 was the setting for one of the most significant announcements in our company's recent history. Perfect Colours and Platinum Technologies International have entered into an official UK distribution agreement, covering the brand's expanding portfolio of large-format printing equipment across the UK market.

You may know Platinum Technologies better under their previous name, Liyu Technologies. Founded in 1993, the company has grown into one of the world's fastest-growing manufacturers of large-format production equipment, with distribution across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The rebrand to Platinum Technologies reflects the scale and ambition of their current product range, which now spans UV flatbed, hybrid, roll-to-roll, textile, and industrial production technologies.

What the Partnership Covers

Through this new distribution agreement, Perfect Colours will supply, install, and support the Platinum Technologies range across the UK. The product range serves a wide cross-section of the print industry:

The sectors this technology serves span signage and retail graphics, interior décor, packaging, garments and textiles, and industrial print applications. For many UK print businesses, this is a route into production-scale output that previously required going direct to overseas manufacturers without local support.

A Word from Our Managing Director

Why This Matters for UK Print Businesses

Platinum Technologies has built its reputation on production systems that combine high throughput with competitive running costs. For UK businesses operating in signage, graphics, décor, or textile printing, having access to this technology through a UK-based distributor with 25 years of engineering infrastructure behind it changes the practical reality of buying and owning one of these machines.

Perfect Colours will showcase selected Platinum Technologies systems at its Sheffield demonstration facility. If you want to see any of the technology in action before committing, that is the place to do it. Our team can walk you through the specs, the media capabilities, and the kind of applications each system handles best.
