Currie Group has demonstrated the Canon Colorado M-series working in conjunction with Italian finishing specialist Neolt Factory for the first time at Printing United.
Currie Group announced the partnership with Neolt Factory during the Visual Impact exhibition in Brisbane. The partnership includes the exclusive supply of a range of Neolt Wallpaper Factory loading, unloading and finishing systems for the Canon Colorado M-series printer range.
These include ‘jumbo roll in – jumbo roll out’ systems which increase the capacity for long run lengths of products like wallpaper without need for operator intervention, and jumbo roll-to-cut solutions which allow rolls to be converted automatically straight off the printer.
Paul Whitehead, Currie Group business unit manager – sign and display, said the Neolt Wallpaper Factory will deliver huge advantages, particularly for businesses doing large runs of wallpapers or similar products, or multiple smaller runs of wallpapers or trimmings that require post-production finishing.
“The benefits of automation are well established. Higher productivity is an obvious advantage, but importantly this can be achieved more profitably and while maximising the value of your staff resources, by removing touchpoints in the production process and making the entire, end-to-end process simpler and more streamlined,” he said.
“The Neolt systems will allow Canon Colorado M-series users to lift their productivity with no additional labour requirement, by fully utilising the automated features of the printers and enabling longer, unattended production runs as well as in-line converting.
“This is a particular advantage for businesses in markets like Australia and New Zealand where qualified staff are in short supply, and wages running at a premium.”
Under the new agreement, Currie Group is the exclusive agent for the Neolt Wallpaper Factory product suite across New Zealand and in Australia, where the company also supplies the Canon Colorado and Canon Arizona printer ranges.
