First GCC UV printer in South Africa installed

t was in August 2009 at Sign Africa in Johannesburg that we managed the mean feat of seling every machine on their exhibition floor and transporting them directly from Sandton Convention Centre to their new owners’ premises. One of those machines, the GCC K72UV had to wait a while due to the Sytech Supplies technical team not having had training on it themselves yet. The Taiwanese technical team that represented the manufacturer at Sign Africa 2009 stayed on a while longer after the exhibition to train our technicians.

Brand new EEZY APPLICATOR ready to launch

This device is custom made right here in Kwazulu Natal and boasts the ability to take jobs that would take hours and get it done in minutes – literally. In the video they apply a very small sample, but the Eezy Applicator can handle any size media. Another nice feature is that it uses compressed air and not electricity. All you need electricity for is the table light.
Vinyl or any other film is applied in minutes by doing the application in halves.

New Roland wide format kid on the block

Last month Roland Digital Group released a wide format machine that we guess was a good few months in the making and then a number of months in testing as well. The new Soljet III XC-540 MT with metallic ink.
The The fact that the machine was not launched at some big expo also says that the timing was off – whether it was production or testing delays – and the company needed to bring this machine to market quickly.

What is the Li’l Chizler?

What came through very strongly was my inexperience in removing adhesive vinyl from surfaces, because if you look very closely you can actually see that i’m scraping the chromadeck in order to lift the edges of the vinyl. Now if that was someone’s vehicle, they would not be very happy with me.
