Wide Format Solutions Print Solutions
Diversified print business Dayfold Group has praised the impact of its new HP Latex R2000, revealing that the machine has allowed the company to bring large format work in-house and expand its service offering – all while enhancing its wider sustainability strategy.
Established 30 years ago, Dayfold has built a reputation for supplying high quality, premium printed products to customers across a range of markets. The company operates from specialist facilities in Dorset and Bath, serving clients across the UK and the Channel Islands.
At the end of last year, managing director Del Simmons led a management buyout of the company, shortly after which Dayfold pushed ahead with a double equipment investment. The first purchase came in the form of an Indigo 7K, which joined an existing HP Indigo Press 5500, with this swiftly followed by the Latex R2000.
Lee Carpenter, client engagement director at Dayfold, said: ‘Prior to purchasing, we carried out an assessment of all large format printers currently available, weighing up their pros and cons. We had two key requirements: excellent sustainability and the capability of producing a market leading spot white. The HP Latex R2000 excels at both.
‘Our R2000 works hard! We produce a wide range of work; from conventional point of sale products and in-store signage and graphics for one of our key customers, to supporting elements for our rigid box making division. One thing that stays consistent is Dayfold’s reputation for producing high quality, innovative work with a strong emphasis on sustainability.’
Lee expands on the sustainability focus, saying this approach has helped Dayfold attract customers who also place a high value on environmentally friendly activities. As is the case with all Latex printers, the R2000 runs water based inks, which have far less impact on the planet than other ink types.
This, coupled with the printer’s large format production capabilities and high quality output, places Dayfold in a strong position to seek out more customers and take on additional work.
‘We are relatively new to the large format printing sector but already have plans to expand on our investment,’ Lee said. ‘Our Latex R2000 has proved to be extremely impressive, so you never know.’
