Bristol’s 2601 expands capabilities with the advanced JETRIX LXi7 printer.

In a significant step forward for their operations, Bristol-based printing and signage company 2601 has invested in a state-of-the-art JETRIX LXi7 printer.

This is with a view to expanding capabilities and generating new creative opportunities.
