Swiss precision delivers exciting times for Vinyline

Wide Format Solutions

St Helens based sign and graphics company Vinyline has invested in swissQprint's Nyala 4 to deliver enhanced quality, versatility, and productivity for its ever broadening range of clientele.

Producing a wide array of print for local and national brands, from bespoke vinyl decals, window graphics, wall art and exhibition displays to building wraps, floor graphics, site hoardings and illuminated signs, the team at Vinyline looked to the Nyala 4 to help grow its workload.

The 3.2×2 metre flatbed’s ability to print up to 1350 dpi provides excellent quality on an extensive range of materials, giving Vinyline the opportunity to explore and conquer new markets, in particular the live events sector.

‘The one thing the last two years have taught us is that we cannot predict what will happen in the future, but we can prepare for it,’ said managing director Keith Hughes. ‘The Nyala 4 is an investment for our future and the print productivity, reliability and flexibility mean our return on investment is already very positive.’

Swiss quality was key to this purchase decision, with the business having previously invested in a Zund UV flatbed system. ‘Swiss made products are engineered to the highest standards and built for durability, and the Nyala 4 is a beautifully engineered example of this,’ said Keith. ‘Considering the overall cost of ownership is vital, and the build quality and simplicity of operation offered by the Nyala 4 are giving us the print performance and versatility we need for our long term growth.’

In addition to the 'hard wired' flexibility of the machine’s adaptability to switch from flatbed to roll to roll operation, the in-built production friendly features, such as Tip Switch Vacuum system, and extensive configuration options, deliver true advantages in speed, quality, and reliability.

Vinyline is already winning new business from both trade and direct clients. ‘It has always been a top priority for us to stay ahead of the game and the Nyala 4 gives us a definitive advantage over our competitors,’ explained Keith.

Before, Vinyline was unable to print anything smaller than 500 mm square. ‘Now, we can print down to 5 mm square, which is fantastic for small format safety signage,’ said Keith.
