Chertsey-based wide-format specialist B&P Light Brigade has installed its Inca Digital Eagle 44 flatbed UV-cured ink-jet press and has also signed up a number of new reseller agreements.
The firm sees UV-cured flatbed presses as an important technology and has signed up to be the UK agent for Zund, a Swiss firm that makes a smaller, less expensive machine than Inca.
"A key issue in large-format is flatbed machines," said B&P Light Brigade managing director David Burton. "Were the only company in the UK with two under one roof."
Co-founder Bryan Stringer is heading up the firms entry into the US market selling the Zund.
In the UK it has signed up as a reseller for Kodaks new high-speed large-format printer, the 5260, and has secured the first five units to arrive in the UK (PrintWeek, 21 September).
It has also signed up as the exclusive reseller in the UK for NURs Salsa range of eight-colour machines, and will have access to the rest of the NUR range.
