Wye Media invests in Mutoh ValueJet 1304 to meet wide format demand

Wye Media in Monmouth has bought a Mutoh ValueJet 1304 wide format printer from Colourgen reseller, Design Supply.

Monmouth-based Wye Media has been providing high quality printed solutions for almost all areas of printing and graphic design for over 15 years. Prior to investing in the Mutoh ValueJet 1304, its focus was on short and long run digital print and design.  However, the company’s strategy to extend its services led it to consider the various wide format printer options available on the market.

Chris McGowan of Wye Media explains, “We were taking on a lot of wide format work, but didn’t have a suitable printer for the job â€" we had to outsource everything.  This meant that we weren’t in control of the process or costs and as the volumes increased we decided to invest in a device so that we could bring the work in-house. The diverse range of work drove the need for a printer that was above all both cost-effective and flexible.”

He continues, “We obviously looked around for the best price within the range of target printers suitable for our applications.  As part of the process, Design Supply presented the eco-solvent Mutoh ValueJet 1304 to us and the decision was made.  This printer not only offered us great value in terms of a low capital investment, but also the flexibility and quality we needed.

“We now have full control of the process and output quality. This printer has given us an extra revenue stream and we are very happy with its performance and running costs.  We can also take on different jobs now and offer point of sale poster printing, roller banners, outdoor signage and vinyl graphics and we plan to offer much more to our customers using the Mutoh in 2013.”

The Mutoh ValueJet 1304 eco-solvent printer has a media width of 54" (1371.5mm) and print width of 53.36" (1355.5mm).  This printer is ideal for current users of water-based printers who want to branch out in to durable indoor and outdoor signage, but also for those more experienced users who want extra capacity and are limited on space.
