The Peterlee-based company promoted its ability to print onto thicker substrates through marketing agency Maskerade Design and were commissioned to decorate a pub as a result.
The Screenprint team produced ceramic tiles for splashback areas for the in-house brewery on the flatbed printer.
Screenprint managing director Philip Lay said: "We work with all kinds of substrates in order to produce banners, display boards, signs and graphics for retail and other markets and the option to print on thick substrates with the Acuity makes it so much easier."
Lay invested in the double-print size Acuity Advance press in March this year in response to demand for print jobs on wider substrates such as exhibition banners.
The company set up its digital department in 2002 as an extension of the original screen print business to improve turnaround times. Lay said that the Acuity investment represents Screenprint’s next step in digital printing.
He added: "It’s been an excellent return on investment. It’s brought more work in and allowed us to complete our existing work more efficiently."
