Hardware - Print Finishing

An Essex-based manufacturer is using its expertise in cutting systems to design and make vital equipment to support frontline staff in the fight against Covid-19.

Gerber Technology has partnered with Hardwire, LLC, a manufacturer of protective armor, to produce face shields for medical professionals and first responders fighting COVID-19 on the front lines who desperately need equipment.

It is long past time that cutting was an obstacle in the process of design, printing, calendering, cutting to sewing. With today's technology, machines have become better aligned and much easier to use.

Trans-Web says the installation of a new Blackman & White digital cutting system has expanded its ability to offer bespoke products - even completing work from competing companies who lack the technology for the job.

Specialised Canvas Group, which encompasses businesses trading as Specialised Canvas, Flagmakers and Banner Box, recently installed their second Zund digital cutter, in a move to double production capacity and support the growing demand for their extensive range of products and services.

Total Signs and Graphics has invested in an Agfa Anapurna H2500i LED UV printer and a Blackman & White Genesis V digital cutting system from expert wide format system supplier i-Sub Digital, in an investment made several years ahead of schedule owing to 'a happy push'.
