Industrial & large-scale printing
Large jobs are rarely lost on print quality. They are lost on a substrate that was not approved, a colour that drifted between the first branch and the fortieth, a finishing queue nobody counted, or a submittal that was missing on the day. This page sets out how a job at that scale is actually planned here, and what we would need from you to plan yours.
These are the machines we run, named rather than described, so you can check what they are. The certifications below belong to the ink or machine manufacturer as they publish them, not to us as a company.
| Machine | What it is | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| HP Latex 800W | Wide-format roll-to-roll, printing with water-based latex ink rather than solvent. GREENGUARD Gold certified, and with no Hazardous Air Pollutants as the US EPA defines them | Banners, vinyl, wallcovering, vehicle and window film, fabric — anything on a roll, and anything going into an occupied interior |
| Epson SureColor SC-V7000 | UV flatbed: the ink cures instantly under LED-UV rather than air-drying. GREENGUARD Gold and AgBB certified | Rigid sheets — acrylic, ACP, foam board, wood, PVC — printed directly rather than printed and mounted, which is what keeps a large panel flat and sharp |
| Xerox Iridesse Production Press | Digital production press using HD EA dry toner, with specialty stations beyond CMYK | Paper work at volume: documents, manuals, corporate stationery, certificates, short runs and variable data |
| Offset | Our offset section, for runs where plate-making pays for itself | The highest volumes of the same page, where unit cost beats setup cost |
| Cutting & finishing | Mimaki plotter cutter, CNC router, laser cutter, die-cutting machine | Contour cuts, routed panels, engraved and cut acrylic, and die-cut shapes — guided rather than hand-cut, which is where scrap is created or avoided |
Mixing technologies across one campaign is the usual cause of colour drifting between locations: the same file printed latex, UV and digital will not land in the same place without profiling and a calibration schedule. Where a job allows it, we keep a brand colour on one press.
Six things, and the machine is only one of them. The ones that collapse a deadline are usually further down this list.
A specification that names a material, a fire classification or an approved panel decides the lead time before anything is printed, because the material has to be here. Substituting is where a project gets rejected on site, so it is settled on paper first.
A brand colour has to land the same on the first branch and the fortieth. That takes ICC profiling and a calibration routine, and it is why a campaign split across technologies mid-way is the most common complaint we are asked to fix rather than cause.
Printing is rarely the bottleneck. Curing, lamination, routing, welding and packing are, and each has its own queue. A programme that counts only press time is the programme that slips.
A multi-site rollout is logistics wearing a printer’s coat. Production is batched by location, labelled per branch and packed in installation order, because an installer opening the wrong box at the right site costs more than the printing did.
Government and large-contract work is administrative as much as technical: material data, classification certificates, method statements, delivery notes in the format the consultant wants. Projects fail here far more often than at the press.
Work is split so that one machine stopping does not stop the project — a rigid panel does not wait on a roll job. Honest contingency is a plan for a bad day rather than a promise there will not be one.
A tender rarely says "print this well". It names a material or a class, asks how it is fixed, asks who is responsible for site measurement and installation, sets a delivery format, and asks for evidence. The evidence is the part that catches suppliers out: a classification certificate for the panel, data for the laminate, a method statement for the installation, and documents that match the specification rather than nearly matching it. We read the schedule as it was issued, say which lines we can evidence and which we cannot, and tell you where a substitution would have to be approved rather than quietly made. Where a line needs a trade or an approval that is not ours, we say so instead of quoting around it. For the environmental lines that increasingly appear in these documents, the detail sits on its own page — see low-emission wallcovering for how emission and content limits differ.
With these, you get a programme and a price rather than a lead time and a hope.
The previous version of this page quoted daily capacity — hundreds of square metres a day, thousands of sheets a day — and a case study about a 120-branch campaign delivered in eleven days. We have taken all of it down. Those numbers were never measured here, and a capacity figure a customer holds you to on a bad week is worth less than nothing. What we will do instead is read your actual scope, look at what is already on the floor that week, and give you a programme we can hold — including the parts we would subcontract and the parts we would decline. If you need a number before you can decide, ask us for that job specifically and you will get one in writing.
We will not publish a figure, and you should be careful with suppliers who do. Output depends on the substrate, the finishing, what else is on the floor that week and whether the material is here — a job that is printed in an hour can take three days to laminate, route and pack. Send us the actual scope and the dates, and we will give you a programme in writing for that job rather than a number that flatters everyone and fits nobody.
Rolls — banners, vinyl, wallcovering, film, fabric — run on the HP Latex 800W. Rigid sheets such as acrylic, ACP and foam board are printed directly on the Epson SureColor SC-V7000 UV flatbed, which is what keeps a large panel flat rather than printed and mounted. Paper at volume runs digitally on the Xerox Iridesse, or on our offset section where the run is long enough for plate-making to pay for itself.
Usually because the campaign was split across technologies or across time without a calibration routine. Latex, UV and toner do not land in the same place from the same file, and a press drifts between calibrations. The fix is ICC profiling, a calibration schedule, and — where the job allows it — keeping one brand colour on one press for the whole rollout.
Yes, and the printing is the simple half. Production is batched by location, labelled per branch and packed in installation order so a crew opens the right box at the right site. Tell us the branch list and the sequence you want and that structure is built into the job rather than sorted out on the day.
Yes. The part worth planning for is the documentation: classification certificates, material data, method statements and delivery documents in the format the consultant asked for. We read the schedule as issued, tell you which lines we can evidence and which we cannot, and flag where a substitution would need approval. We will not quote around a line we cannot meet.
Often, by bringing it in — which is a lead-time question rather than a capability one, and it is why the material is settled before the programme. Where it cannot be sourced in the time, we say so and propose the nearest alternative as a formal substitution for the consultant to approve, rather than printing on something close and hoping.
Not for this kind of work. Short runs are ordinary here — the digital press exists for exactly that — and a pilot batch before a full rollout is usually the sensible way to agree colour and finish with the client before forty sites are produced.
Our own crews for signage and wall work, which is the point of fabrication and installation being one company. For a rollout across several emirates we sequence the installation with the production batches. Where a site needs a trade we do not hold, we say so in the quotation rather than after the order.
