Busy production environments need print solutions that guarantee quality and consistency at the lowest possible cost.
Better still if they provide a route to take the business into profitable new markets.
With the innovative range of products Innova Art is exhibiting at SIGN UK this year, this award-winning manufacturer is pointing the way.
Innova Art’s unique Decor Art ES paper: turning solvent printing into profit in the billion pound décor art market
The stunning image resolution and colour rendition of the new generation of low-cost, eco-solvent printers, combined with their eye-catching ‘green’ credentials, have made them a huge hit in the graphics and signage market.
Like inkjet a decade ago, solvent has the potential to become a highly profitable ‘crossover’ technology in the billion pound décor market, delivering high-grade artwork for hotels, restaurants and the corporate environment.
The key was the availability of the right media, which is why Innova Art’s recently launched 260gsm Decor Art ES paper has proved such a hit.
This is currently the only art paper that is compatible with all eco-solvent machines. So good that Epson used it throughout last year’s Photokina to show off its eco-solvent Stylus Pro GS6000 printer.
The Decor Art ES paper is acid and lignin free, meaning it complies with the most exacting archival standards. It is available in two grades – Décor Art ES 260gsm and Décor Art Velevt ES 300gsm in widths of 30, 54, and 60” and 100’ lengths on a 3” core .
“The potential for solvent to emulate inkjet as a highly profitable ‘crossover’ technology has been widely forecast and now we seem to be at a tipping point. The classic textured feel of the Decor Art ES paper, together with its outstanding image resolution and colour rendition, means that these new devices really are the print engines of tomorrow” – Mike Ramos-Gonzalez, Innova Art MD.
Innova Art is the award-winning producer of FibaPrint, the first digital alternative to traditional baryta papers, and a range of digital fine art media. The new Decor Art ES paper confirms the company’s expertise in developing exciting new solutions for emerging markets
