Wide Format Solutions Print Solutions

Creative marketing agency Linney has added a Kudu flatbed printer from swissQprint to its portfolio to enhance customer offerings in high resolution and sustainable printing.

Established in 1851 as a bookstore, family owned business Linney has evolved into a renowned multifaceted creative marketing group. With expertise in print, logistics, and high end creative, the agency has been giving brands the edge for decades.

The company’s long standing approach to investment underscores its commitment to delivering innovation for customers, employees, and suppliers. Over the past decade, it has invested approximately £30 million. The addition of the large format printer Kudu highlights its dedication to pushing client boundaries.

The leadership team first encountered the Kudu at this year's FESPA exhibition, and it quickly became evident that the machine's capabilities would be an indispensable addition. Charles Linney, executive director, is delighted with the new investment: ‘The Kudu is more than just a printer; it offers an exceptional level of quality for us, particularly with its range of colours. It not only complements our existing printers but also offers our customers special features that are now essential in a highly competitive market.’

With its roll to roll and dual roll capabilities, 304 m² per hour output, and 10 colour channels, the Kudu represents a cutting edge addition to Linney's large format printing arsenal. It enables striking, high quality print, and attention grabbing visual materials. Vibrant backlit images with neon colours coupled with the Kudu's creative print effects, including 2pt text, 3D effects, haptic (tactile) printing, white and spot varnish, will usher in new possibilities for the business.

Furthermore, its vacuum system firmly secures substrates, enabling the Kudu to print on a wide range of rigid materials. Wood, fluted boards, aluminium composite panels and acrylics can all be effectively printed, eliminating the need for priming, while maximising quality results.
