FaberExposize takes UK’s first Jeti Condor RTR5200

FaberExposize’s Jeti Condor RTR5200 is already transforming the company’s large format production capabilities.

Based in Leeds, the company has grown rapidly from its early beginnings printing flags to become a major force in wide format print. Today, it produces high impact graphics for retail, display, point of sale, entertainment, and experiential sectors, with an operation that runs around the clock to keep up with customer demand.

With its exhibition and entertainment print business expanding at pace, FaberExposize identified a gap in its fleet in the form of a lack of a dedicated five metre press that could handle multiple rolls simultaneously.

‘We have been growing exponentially within exhibition and entertainment, and many of our clients wanted five metre wide prints as well as 3.2 metre,’ explained Iain Clasper-Cotte, managing director at FaberExposize UK. ‘It was the only gap in our arsenal, and we wanted to fill it with a UV machine.’

That need led the company straight to the Jeti Condor RTR5200. The Condor is a powerful 5.2 metre press built for both speed and outstanding print quality.

For FaberExposize, the Condor’s flexibility presented an immediate benefit. White ink capabilities have unlocked new creative options for jobs like window clings, while the ability to add protective varnish in line means the company can now produce durable flex-face signage without slowing production.

‘We already have a lot of signage trade clients coming to us primarily for flags and smaller jobs, but this enables us to print the full remit of what a signage company might need,’ said Iain. ‘We can do flex face signage, for instance, because we can put protective varnish over it.’

Despite its scale, the Condor integrated effortlessly into the company’s existing workflow, running on the same RIP system and requiring no new software. Within its first week on-site, the team was printing three rolls simultaneously, a testament to how quickly production ramped up.

Since integrating the Condor, FaberExposize has also opened a new dedicated print production unit.
