Sytech Supplies will be importing and distributing all GCC’s printers and cutters as well as accessories for these machines.

The first order of stock has just arrived at the Durban harbour and is being delivered to the premises of Sytech Supplies as you read this newsletter. Among these arrivals is the latest GCC breakthrough in wide format UV digital print technology. The K72UV digital printer.

With 8-channel printing and a 2-litre ink capacity, the K72UV is capable of handling both rigid and flexible media, has an output resolution of 720dpi, with an option to increase even further to 1440dpi. It has 3 variable print speeds and supports all popular graphic file formats. The colour gamut includes Light Cyan, Light Magenta and dedicated White ink printing. It also comes equipped with a varnishing top coat solution that can cover entire graphics or be applied as spot highlights. The printer also comes with a pre-coat (for printing on stainless steel, ceramic tiles etc) to enhance ink adhesion. This then enables printing with ink as well as a UV topcoat.

Auto-calibration ensures the distance between print heads and media stays constant. Its dual UV lamps enhances bi-directional and high speed printing, and are equipped with shutters to shield the print heads from the UV rays.

This darling of a printer will be unveiled at the Sign Africa exhibition stand of Sytech Supplies on Level 2 of the Sandton Convention Centre on 2 September 2009. Sytech Supplies’ head of Marketing Arthur Van Wyk claims this printer could easily be the “newest, youngest” printer at the Sign Africa exhibition, having come off the production and testing line less than a month ago. Van Wyk further says the very first unit that GCC’s R&D personnel were happy with was shipped to South Africa – to Sytech Supplies.

To see the colour and creative wizardry that this machine makes possible, make your way to the Sytech Supplies stand at the Sandton Convention Centre between 2 and 4 September 2004.
