A game-changer in print technology

As Australia moves further into the digital age, Snap Print & Design has proved that print and traditional media are here to stay. To push the boundaries of conventional printing and design, Snap Wynyard has installed one of the first HP Latex RSeries Printers in Australia.

The new Latex RSeries printer is considered a significant investment for conventional printers and will offer consistent quality, fast turnaround times and a range of printing options for clients.

The printer features a new hybrid design which allows for print on rigid and roll media. A new overcoat additive is used to provide added scratch resistance on the finished printed product. The new latex white ink system uses titanium pigments which allows for brighter whites that will not yellow or fade over time.

Warren Jones, Business Development Manager at Snap Wynyard, says “The image quality is so sharp, the clarity and what the device can print on to is just absolutely amazing.”

The ink system used in the Latex R1000 produces a larger colour gamut for improved print quality. The inks also require lower curing temperatures than previous latex machines which allow for a broader range of substrates.

“The R1000 allows us to print directly onto any substrate that enables us to turn around printing much quicker than we could before,” explains Jones.

Whether customers require packaging, vehicle wraps, window graphics, wallpaper, or soft textiles, the speed and quality of the HP Latex R1000 will provide the results for Snap and their customers.

“For Snap Wynyard it enables us to compete at any level and produce a range of highly sort after material.”

A game-changer in digital print technology, the HP Latex R1000 delivers several unique benefits for Snap clients. These include the incredible speed of delivery, superior quality and colour gamut, strong sustainability credentials, and odourless printing which is ideal for applications in sensitive environments such as hospitals and schools.

“Sustainability for our customers is very important,” says Jones, and “being waterbased the R1000 can deliver odourless prints which offer safer and cleaner options for the environment, high traffic areas and outdoor applications.”

With the new HP latex printer, Snap can transform any rigid or flexible substrate with amazing colours. And with no smell, new colours, new substrates, and HP’s white latex ink, this printer is an industry breakthrough. Snap will be able to deliver quality printing on any rigid or flexible surface including wood, aluminium, glass, ceramic and more.

With the new HP Latex R1000+ printer, Snap can offer customers the glossiest white on transparent and coloured media with highopacity white that resists yellowing over time, has enhanced scratch resistance and quicker turnaround times.

With over 150 centres across Australia, there are already plenty of people enjoying the benefits of being part of Australia’s largest print, design and websites group.
