Kremer Signs invests in third Spyder 320 flatbed printer

Kremer Signs has taken its spend on Inca Digital equipment to in excess of 750,000 in the past three years after installing its third Spyder 320 flatbed printer.

The Reading-headquarted business, which specialises in the production of estate agents boards and signage, opted to stick with Inca following a successful period of production on its two existing machines.

The mid-range Spyder 320 can print at speeds up to 80sqm an hour on a flatbed of 3.2m x 1.6m.

According to Gary Gosney, sales and marketing manager at Kremer Signs, the company's introduction of wide-format digital in 2008 has allowed it to broaden its product offering.

He said: "Previously we would turn away work to focus solely on the production of boards and display signage for estate agents. But the benefit of digital print has enabled us to move into new markets with both new and existing customers.

"We now also carry out the production of interior signage and branding, which has proven to be a growth area for the business.

Kremer Signs employs 35 staff and had a turnover of £4.4m last year. According to Gosney, the company will also consider a fourth Spyder machine in 2012 if the latest addition reaches capacity.
