Large Format Print

Within our factory in Horsham, we have the capacity to offer large format printing, with several printers able to produce digital print. This type of print can be used for digital wallpaper, window displays, vehicle graphics, van wraps, print for PVC banners, paper posters up to 1.5x30m and A0, in addition to print for roll-up banners and exhibition displays.

As requests for large format print grows as does the need for same-day requirement due to tight deadlines and ever-changing event schedules. Our clients would ideally like to take away their print at the end of the day, which is a problem for many large format printers as the print can take at least a day to ‘gas out’ which basically means dry, sometimes even longer if it a full colour print with 100% coverage.

HP latex printer allows for same-day demand

However, our new HP Latex printer has thermal inkjet printheads which allow for the ink to dry as soon as it is printed. The print is also scratch resistance with impressive quality, vibrant colours, and can be placed externally un-laminated. With this high-performance printer, it’s not only the turnaround that is quick, but the speeds are also far quicker and the printer can work remotely allowing our team to run jobs and continually print. These sharp prints are odourless allowing them to be placed indoors, making them ideal for schools, healthcare providers, and care homes.

Working again with Horsham District Council

Our first printer job on the new HPLatex Printer; town entry signs for Horsham markets for Horsham District Council Communications Department. These are printed onto specialist ferrous paper, which is a paper with additional metal added to it so that it has a magnetic quality. This allows for these types of print to be easily attached to the town entry signs without additional fixings. Horsham District Council kindly sent us artwork which we checked and then used directly. These entry signs will appear in six locations leading into Horsham advertising the markets on certain days and promoting local business and tourism.

BEL Signs takes delivery and uses new HP Latex Printer for HDC job

BEL Signs and ADAPT

We were pleased to use Amari Digital and printing technologies, or ADAPT, to order and install our HP printer. Their hardware team helped deliver and install, moving the printer into its space within our print room. Our production team has been very impressed with the quality of the print and its robustness.
Peter Fraser, Production Manager at BEL Signs commented:
“This new printer will aid us to increase productivity in all areas of our print and signage. It’s perfect for exhibition print which is an industry that is beginning to bounce back from restrictions. We aim to secure more large format digital print contracts, not only from local county councils but large scale projects for display and shows in addition to the usual digital print offering we have where we can now offer same-day delivery.”

If you are local in Horsham you might have seen some of the work we have been supplying to Horsham District Council (HDC). This includes the new Reuse Hub graphics for the Environment, Recycling, Waste, and Cleansing department in addition to uniform for Park and Countryside Services.

HDC Reuse Hub with graphics from BEL Signs

Digital graphics for The Reuse Hub

The reuse project, recently launched, is a trial being run by West Sussex County Council and HDC to help residents drop off pre-loved items that can have a new life. It is housed inside a shipping container with slight curves over the surface and a door opening at one end. HDC supplied us with artwork designs which are in the form of a large logo, with graffiti type and items cut round all the edges. We digitally printed and cut out the artwork at our factory in Blatchford Road, Horsham. The logos were printed onto MD5A, a high-performance vinyl from Metamark, which has a special adhesive system that allows large-scale printed graphics to be fitted more easily onto slightly curved surfaces. The print was also laminated and then installed onsite onto the container by our specialist team. The Reuse Hub, based at the Hop Oast site, is open Wednesday to Saturday, details can be found here. Now launched we can show the project being fitted and are proud to be part of this local innovative venture.

Clothing for wardens, workers and volunteers

Embroidery and heat applied details have been added to a range of clothing for staff and volunteers at Horsham District Council (HDC), including green Russell fleeces, Fruit of the Loom polo shirts, and Titanium grey Russell waterproofs jackets. All clothing includes the HDC logo and text placed on to chest sides, with the jackets, details have also been added to the reverse. Popular with workwear and uniforms, embroidery has durability, with high quality, and can be a great way to promote your business, look professional, and give customers confidence knowing staff. Logos can be created into thread and stitched onto clothing from our factory in Horsham. Waterproof jackets cannot have embroidery in order to keep their proofing, so heat-applied text and logos are an ideal way to brand workwear. Heat-applied transfers are a specialist type of vinyl that can be printed or cut and applied to garments via a heat press. These types of transfers can also cover a larger area and are great for events and short-run items.
