Fabric printing has become a real growth area for Benefitz in recent years, and this growth looks set to continue with the recent installation of a brand new 3.2 metres wide high density sublimation ink machine, Apsaras G4D Max.
This grand format digital machine prints on a range of fabrics up to 3.2 metres wide and up to 1800dpi in resolution, although the standard mode of 1200dpi is recognised as very high quality for fabric printing.
“We have been able to print large fabric items for many years and the investment in this new G4D Max has boosted our capability further,” says Aidan Bennett, founder and MD of Benefitz.
“We produce lots of fabric walls for events as well as all types of flags. Lots of flags. Fabric is very sustainable and versatile and can be used for a range of branded promotional items. We do lots of media backdrops as well as tablecloths/throws, hanging banners, display counters and cushions. Fabric is also great for backlit lightboxes and for backlit event walls to stand out from the crowd.”
“We also supply a wide range of hardware, the stand hardware that goes with many of these printed items. We also do all the finishing required for fabric – sewing etc.”
Key advantages of the new Benefitz Apsaras G4D Max are the size (3.2 metres), that it is very user friendly with improved cutting technology, is more efficient – offering us further improvements with our environmental footprint. It is also a very versatile machine with the range of fabrics it is capable of printing.
Benefitz has five sublimation fabric printing machines ranging in size from 1.9 metres, 2.6 metres and 3.2 metres wide. The length we are able to print is only restricted by the length of rolls.
