Tapestry buys 8-colour Hi-Fi Jets

Tapestry MM, the central London-based repro and digital printing firm, has bought two large-format Roland Hi-Fi Jet printers with eight-colour heads and also now offers chromira digital photographic prints.

The company hopes the investment will strengthen its foothold in the exhibitions and display market. One of the presses uses dye-based inks, specifically to cater for this sector, while the other uses pigment-based inks for archival work as well as Gicle fine art.

Tapestry was taken over by Mullis Morgan two years ago, and has since undergone a transformation.

All of its machines are colour managed using TypeMakers ColorBlind software to ensure consistency. Both digital and conventional photographic services are also offered and Tapestry hopes that its new colour management workshops will also encourage different companies to try its services.

Tapestry spokeswoman Gillian Milton said: Were trying to target creative
professionals, such as PRs, hairdressers and make-up artists, but also corporate clients, specifically in the areas of exhibitions and display, fine art, photography and the use of our re-touching studios.

The workshops will run monthly from 16 January.
