When the customers are happy, the boss is happy. At FASTSIGNS of Lawrenceville, NJ, the Anapurna M1600 UV inkjet printing system from Agfa Graphics is making lots of people, including the boss, very happy.
FASTSIGNS is a signage, graphics and visual communications company that provides all types of signs and graphics including floor and vehicle graphics, point of purchase and digital signs, labels and decals, architectural and interior décor and more.
At 63-inches (1.6 meters) wide, the Anapurna M1600, a UV-curable inkjet printer with white printing standard, runs at a top speed of 500 ft²/hr. With the installation of the Anapurna M1600, FASTSIGNS increased production speed. The addition of high-quality, in-line white ink means no longer adhering white film to the backs of prints since it prints pre- and post-white. Customers are pleased with the overall effect.

Thanks to the Anapurna M1600, Belmont says he has been able to capture new markets and now provides graphics for upscale professional corporate settings, high-end retail, museums and university installations.
