BURSCOUGH, UK - Quality Print Services (QPS) has agreed its largest ever stand for Sign and Digital UK, taking place from April 19th to 21st 2016. 

"We've already booked our stand space for Sign UK 2016: an eye-watering 72sqm," says Chris Bailey, Managing Director of QPS. "We normally reserve a large space near to the show's main entrance but this time we wanted to make sure we had even more room to showcase the wealth of equipment we supply, in particular the Longier flatbed printer range."

QPS, in collaboration with Longier UK Ltd, distributes the Longier wide-format printer brand. It installed its first Longier Hunter FP3750 LED flatbed printer this July, at WAE Group's Leeds print room.

At Sign and Digital UK 2016, QPS will be demonstrating the Longier Hunter FR3750, another of Longier's energy-efficient and robust LED UV printers, capable of high-quality, low-energy printing at speeds of up to 70sqm/h. The 2x8 print-head configuration allows for printing with process colours, white and varnish while an oversized board printing option is also available. The Hunter FR3750 will be running Nazdar high-quality digital inks, of which QPS is the leading UK supplier and main distributor.

"Users running the combination of Longier Hunter printers and Nazdar inks have found excellent adhesion to the widest variety of commonly used sign and display substrates, long-lasting prints and outstanding performance. This is the reason Longier UK Ltd uses Nazdar ink as the OEM ink," says Chris Bailey. 

"In addition, we'll be demonstrating a range of smaller wide-format printers running Nazdar products, with full details to be announced closer to the show." 

As an Authorised Roland Dealer for dye-sublimation and UV applications, QPS's stand at the 2015 edition of Sign and Digital UK featured a Roland RF-640 with Nazdar TX650 dye-sub inks and a Roland VS-640i with Nazdar 202 inks, plus a preview of Nazdar's dedicated, low-odour inks for Mimaki JV300 and CJV300 series printers. Since then, QPS has also announced it will supply Nazdar's brand new UV-cured inkjet inks – Nazdar 702 Series and Nazdar 703 Series – for the Océ Arizona and Fujifilm Acuity printer platforms.

QPS will exhibit on stand L10 at Sign and Digital UK 2016. Full details will be announced in due course.
