Bad boy: Hollywood Monster’s new EFI VUTEk GS5000r in action
Hollywood Monster has chosen the EFI VUTEk GS5000r for its sign-making operation. The firm says it brings versatility, quality, and speed to 5m production. The giant machine is being supplied and installed by CMYUK Digital.
Although machines from other manufacturers were investigated, director Simon McKenzie believes it makes sense to purchase a VUTEk printer, so that the same productivity software, RIP, and colour management capabilities are employed.
He says: “It is now easy to produce identical results regardless of the media we’re using. From an operator’s perspective, the interface is the same and setting up each job is simplified and faster, an important element when fast change-over is required.”
Based in Tyseley, Birmingham, Hollywood Monster works with many of the largest names in retail, commercial property and construction, sport, television, and theatre”
“The VUTEk GS5000r brings us additional benefits, as well as producing high speed high quality print. Its versatility means that we can work with multiple rolls to enable us to produce three 1.62m wide jobs simultaneously, and the high opacity white ink has an advanced three-layering capability so that we can easily use non-white and coloured materials.”
According to the firm’s website a member of staff is a genuine Hollywood monster.
