CWE Solutions Celebrates Business Growth With Office Move

Award-winning HP partner CWE Solutions has moved offices, relocating its southern office from central London to a far bigger site in Surrey, due to its continued business success.

Throughout the recession, CWE Solutions experienced year-on-year growth and recently outgrew its office and warehouse space in Bermondsey, London. The company has just moved to its new premises in Chessington, Surrey – a site that is four-times bigger than its previous location.

As a result of the office move, CWE Solutions is able to stock an even larger range of printing equipment and consumables, ensure an increased stock availability, and offer a better demonstration facility to clients.

The new office and warehouse are vastly bigger than before, resulting in an enhanced service. From being able to demonstrate more variety and much bigger models of equipment to clients, which aids the decision-making process, to boosting efficiency thanks to holding a wider range of stock, CWE Solutions can now continue to build on its reputation as one of the leading UK companies in the print industry.

Furthermore, CWE Solutions’ expansion has the added benefits of providing more room – the firm is now looking to hire new employees across its business areas including sales, accounts, warehouse and drivers – while ensuring central London is still within easy reach and that there is improved access to the rest of the UK.

Doug Gilbertson, Managing Director said: “This is an exciting time for us. The new office and warehouse are incredible – far bigger than our last site so we can offer even more to our customers. Plus, we have the ability to show and demonstrate a larger variety of products onsite, making it easier for customers to select the right device for them.

“Being able to continue to grow our business is another bonus of the move. We now have the space to take on new recruits to work with us and help increase our success yet further.

“All of this is coupled with the fact we’re not far from London and will continue to work closely with clients in and around the City as well as the rest of the UK.”

If you’re looking for work within a leading company that is rapidly expanding and offering career progression, CWE Solutions is keen for you to get in touch.

The new southern office address is 61 Barwell Business Park, Leatherhead Road, Chessington, Surrey KT9 2NY. The telephone number is now 08444 829 895 and fax 08444 829 896.

CWE Solutions’ Sheffield office address remains the same, and those based in the north are welcome to contact this office to discuss possible employment opportunities.

Sport and Entertainment go large with Epson

Sport Photo Gallery in West Dulwich, London, has invested in an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 large-format inkjet printer to spearhead its expansion into large-format print for both its retail sport and entertainment image sales and for its professional photographic print and finishing services.

Sport Photo Gallery sells classic and contemporary sport imagery and memorabilia products under licence from Getty Images online at www.sportphotogallery.com, offering prints in a range of sizes, media and finishing options; allied to this is Entertainment Photo Gallery, which features music, film and TV stars. More recently, the company began offering printing and mounting services to professional and student photographers, via its Digilab London brand, providing the same quality and turnaround as central London labs but at significantly more attractive prices.

Previously, the vast majority of the prints made were produced on conventional photochemical paper via a high-end laser-based digital photolab system, but this was limited to a maximum print size of 20 x 32 inches. According to Sport Photo Gallery director Spencer Maclean, there is a growing demand for larger formats.

A large-format inkjet was the solution to both the size and media requirements. With the advice of supplier CWE Solutions, who also provided a suitable RIP and support package, Maclean chose an Epson Stylus Pro 9900, a 44-inch width roll-fed printer that uses Epson’s UltraChrome HDR 11-colour ink set to provide an extended colour gamut on a wide range of media, with resolution up to 2880 x 1440dpi for truly photographic-looking results. Custom ICC profiles made by CWE Solutions for a variety of media enable the full colour potential of Epson’s extended ink set – which includes green and orange inks as well as various cyan, magenta, yellow and blacks – to be realised.

‘The standard of the prints from the Epson is fantastic,’ says Maclean. ‘We’re getting excellent quality blacks from the Epson and it’s great at accurately reproducing some reds – a colour that appears quite commonly in sportsmen’s kit.’

‘We’re impressed with the quality of prints that Sport Photo Gallery is producing on the Epson Stylus Pro 9900,’ says Martin Johns, Market Development Manager, Epson UK. ’The printer is ideal for their photo and fine art applications, which means they can guarantee consistent and accurate colour reproduction on a wide range of media, whatever the size.’

Most photographic images that are printed on the Stylus Pro 9900 are output to Fuji LFP satin paper and fine art is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper. One of the main benefits of the Stylus Pro 9900 is that it is possible to print on a wide range of media.

The package installed by CWE included a Shiraz RIP which is able to drive both the Epson Stylus Pro 9900 and an existing inkjet which is used for output to canvas, saving the cost and complexity of having two separate RIPs.

Maclean is impressed with the reliability and ease of use of the Epson Stylus Pro 9900 too. ‘We’ve had no problems at all in the short time we’ve had it,’ he reports, ‘and it’s easy to understand and use – the media feeding and transport are simple to manage and cleaning is straightforward. It’s cheaper on ink than other manufacturers’ alternatives, too.’

Sport Photo Gallery has been promoting its new large-format capability via the web site, offering prints from stock images at up to 60 by 40 inches (approximately 1524 x 1016mm), with mounting and framing options. ‘Images have a huge impact at this size,’ said Maclean, ‘there’s nothing like it when you see these large prints come out. It’s another arm to our business, and we’ve had a very positive response from customers, especially on the Digilab side, where customers generally come back for more,’ Maclean concluded.

New Seiko ColorPainter W-64S wide format machine for Display Systems

Display Systems

Colourgen reseller, CWE Solutions, has supplied a Seiko ColorPainter W-64S wide format solvent-based inkjet printer to Display Signs. The new printer replaces a Seiko ColorPainter 64S and was selected because of the quality, speed and reliability that Display Signs knows they will get from Seiko printers.

For more than 30 years, Display Signs in Uxbridge has been one of London’s leading sign-makers. The factory is equipped with a broad range of first class sign making technology, including the latest large format digital printers and routing equipment, which allows Display Signs to produce top quality signs at competitive prices.

Although a sign-maker very much in the traditional mould, Display Signs first made a significant move to digital technology around eight years ago. Paul Cater, Sales Director, explains, “The introduction of solvent-based inkjet printing revolutionised our business and I would say around 60/70% of our work is now digital. We do a lot of cut vinyl and lettering, particularly directional wayfinders for schools, colleges and hospitals, and the Seiko has always proven ideal for this market. For many years it was an excellent workhorse, very reliable and gave us very few problems.”

He continues, “When we saw the new ColorPainter W-64S, we were confident that it took the technology forward quite significantly and would deliver even higher levels of quality and reliability in a new, faster and more powerful printer. The printer also has an advanced front drying system, which helps  ensure print workflows are faster, which allows us to increase production.”

The ColorPainter W-Series is available in 54” and 64” widths. It has new print heads which offer resolutions up to 900dpi as well as triple-drop technology for 4-step greyscale. It offers two colour configurations, including 4 colour type for lower running costs and increased speed and 6 colour type for better image quality. The combination of 6 new high speed print heads, two types of ink and several new innovative printing functions increases the printer’s performance and widens the printer’s application range for the signage and digital printing market.

The new printer was supplied to Display Signs with Caldera’s VisualRIP+, which was a major improvement on the RIP that was being used for the company’s other printers. “We can now run both the Seiko and our HP printer using VisualRIP+ from a single screen. The software is calibrated so there are no colour issues between the printers and we can print jobs to either printer knowing they will both come out exactly as we want them,” adds Paul.

The day to day maintenance of the W-64S is another big benefit. “The new printer requires very little in terms of maintenance and everything is very easy to access and clean. These daily jobs were a real chore on the old printer and we now save a good ten to fifteen minutes every day thanks to the improved process. The printer also uses significantly less ink because it doesn’t need cleaning so often, which has saved a lot of money already,” he says.

Paul Cater concludes, “The main benefit of the Seiko W-64S is its reliability and the fact that both CWE Solutions and Colourgen are able to sort out any problems very quickly. We are familiar with Seiko printers and feel that they are better than other printers in their class. We are now able to offer guaranteed delivery dates with real confidence because we know the Seiko can produce a lot of prints very quickly and with a minimum of fuss. It is fast, consistent and reliable and delivers fantastic image quality every time.”

CWE Solutions wins three prestigious HP Partner of the year awards

Graham De Kock at HP Awards

Highly regarded as the UK’s largest and leading reseller of HP Designjet latex printers, CWE Solutions has strengthened its premium market position by scooping three Partner of the Year awards during the recent Channel Awards ceremony event in London.

The company enjoyed an evening of great success at the HP Designjet UK and Ireland 2011 Channel Awards, scooping the awards for Sign & Display Partner of the Year, Graphics Partner of the Year, and System Sales Partner of the Year.

CWES Sales Manager Graham De Kock attended the event and was awarded the three prizes, which were all based on sales of HP printers and consumables.

Mr De Kock said: “It was an amazing event, and it was such an honour to accept not one but three awards on behalf of CWE Solutions. We work hard to be the best in our sector, advising clients on the right printing solution for them, and providing an ongoing support service too. To be recognised for our efforts like this is just fantastic.”

The first award presented to CWES was the Sign & Display Partner of the Year, in recognition for the sales of HP Designjet L25500, HP Scitex LX Series and HP Scitex FB Series printers.

This was soon followed by the Graphics Partner of the Year award, given to CWES because of the strong HP Designjet Z Series printer sales. Award number three was the System Sales Partner of the Year status, presented for the sales within the “Wide Format and Grand Printing Sector” including hardware, consumables and care packs.

The triple awards ensure a great start to the New Year for CWE Solutions. The company intends to build on this success during 2012, and has, as a sign of continued growth for the business, recently taken on two new print professionals – Mark Hollingsworth is the new Operations Manager and Ioanna Xenophantes, Internal Account Manager.

CWE Solutions celebrates start of 2012 with two new recruits

Mark Hollinsworth and Ioanna Xenophantes

CWE Solutions is a company committed to its customers and its continuing success within the print industry – and at the start of this New Year, the company celebrated by employing two new recruits.

Mark Hollinsworth and Ioanna Xenophantes are both experienced print professionals, driven, knowledgeable, and eager to help CWE Solutions expand.

Since it was formed in 1999, the company has grown significantly and is now one of the biggest firms in the UK’s print and signage market.

Mark Hollinsworth is the new Operations Manager for CWE Solutions, responsible for the internal sales team for London and Sheffield as well as the external sales team in London. He describes himself as very much a people person, and the aim of his new role as maximising every opportunity for the company.

He explains that his role was newly created to provide a direct link between the MD and the sales team, to ensure the company can continue to grow and to “move things on to another level”.

With 16 years’ experience in the industry, Mark thrives on the challenges that this new role provides. And he will likely be with CWES for the long-term, if his track record is anything to go by – he was with his previous employer, Metamark, for 12.5 years, and describes Metamark as a fantastic company.

Mark believes one of the biggest challenges of his new role is winning the trust of his team. “I need them to know that I’m willing to go out on a limb for them,” he explained. The thing he’s most excited about in his new role is proving he can excel at the job. “Being a success, and proving myself. That doesn’t mean money but rather when you get that pat on the back and told you’ve done a good job. I can’t wait to prove myself at CWES.”

Ioanna Xenophantes has recently taken on the role of Internal Account Manager at CWES. This position means she is heavily involved in pro-active sales, which she greatly enjoys, and in particular with growing existing accounts, as well as meeting customers onsite when needed.

Having worked in the print industry for 14 years, Ioanna wanted to work for CWES as she already knew much about the company and viewed the role of Account Manager as a challenging yet rewarding one.

Previously, Ioanna enjoyed working for PaperCo, where her position entailed identifying new sales of Roland printers within the commercial print market and design to print sector. As part of this role she followed through from initial enquiry to demonstration to sale, as well as looking after the needs of existing users of wide format equipment within these sectors. In her job at CWES, she gets to learn about the large format print equipment and HP printers, and to experience a previously unfamiliar sector of the market.

Although new to the role, Ioanna describes “working with HP equipment and learning about the equipment” as the element she’s most excited about – as well as the prospect of “bringing in lots of new sales”.

Undoubtedly, Mark and Ioanna are set to enjoy long and successful careers with the firm, and there is much excitement surrounding their potential to effectively grow the business.

CWE Solutions Sets Another First With HP Designjet L26500 Sale

Stock Signs with HP Designjet L26500

The biggest reseller of HP Designjet latex printers in the UK, CWE Solutions has achieved another first with its sale of the latest HP Designjet in the UK.

CWE Solutions has become the first company to sell the HP Designjet L26500 large format printer in the UK, and Stocksigns the first company to receive.

Already holding an impressive track record for being the first to sell HP large format printers as they are released, its sale of the new HP L26500 to Stocksigns confirms CWE Solutions’ reputation as the UK’s leading HP print reseller.

The Designjet L26500 is the successor to the L25500 model, and boasts a number of improvements including extra width, increased speed and double-sided printing abilities. Plus, as a latex printer the HP device offers a cost-effective means of creating professional signage on a host of media, together with low maintenance, good green credentials and excellent reliability.

For Stocksigns, buying this latest HP latex technology has given the company more flexibility and signage options, as well as reduced printing concerns and costs.

Bruce Main, Managing Director at Stocksigns said: “Our new HP Designjet L26500 will increase our business opportunities thanks to the advantage of being able to print on an even wider media range using the more versatile HP latex ink. Our working environment will also improve due to there no longer being the solvent smell of our previous printers.

“There is also the added peace of mind, knowing CWE Solutions is only a phone call away if needed,” Mr Main added. “Their technical team is brilliant, and we know that should any issue arise with the HP printer, it will be fixed quickly and with minimum downtime.”

CWE Solutions has worked with businesses since 1999, providing the right printer solutions for each and every client. By understanding the printing industry and taking the time to discuss individual needs with companies, CWE makes sure the printer or related accessories and software matches the business requirements.

Proud to have sold the latest HP Designjet printers to various firms – and to have been the first to do so – CWE Solutions continues to be a market leader. In addition to selling the first HP L26500 printer in the UK, the company was also first to sell the HP Designjet 5000, 5500, 6100, 6200 and L65500 models in the UK.

Road test of the HP Designjet L26500

HP’s latest Designjet L26500 is destined to be a good all-rounder for PSPs, sign-makers, architects and designers

Of the two new HP Designjet latex printers to have been introduced recently, I’m opting for a closer look at the smaller of these two units because it’s available now. The second, larger L28500 model (2.64m wide) will be ready to ship in the new year, but the Designjet L26500 is joining the European latex tour in this country which starts on November 15th.

Following on from the earlier Designjet L25500 printer, this new machine now incorporates some features that address options which became, perhaps, obvious omissions in the previous versions. One of the additions which is only small, but marks HP’s acknowledgment that soft signage is a market for which this technology is well suited, is the extra inch of width now able to be handled by this unit. Odd though it might sound, the move to a maximum width of 1.55m (61″) is significant as it means that people wanting to print to digital textiles can now do so, because this is a particularly common size.

In appearance terms, there are few obvious differences between the old and new Designjet L machines but some hard work has been going on beneath the bonnet in terms of enhancements. One of the most noticeable of these is a neat loading accessory which, combined with the edge holder, makes it easier to keep materials stable during the production process. There’s also a double-sided option which works best with HP’s matched media plus the latest version of the ink, designated HP 792, which has been Eco Mark certified by the Japan Environment Association.

The Designjet L26500 is a sturdy machine in a familiar chassis with a modest footprint, working with six colours, a maximum resolution of 1,200dpi and acceptable throughput speeds. It’s surprisingly easy to load and to work with, and is happy printing to uncoated low-cost and eco-solvent compatible materials as well as HP’s own growing list of products.

What’s of particular relevance in this machine, and its forthcoming big brother, is its ability to work with materials suitable for soft sign production. This can be extended into interior décor and other applications where a lightweight graphics solution is going to be beneficial, such as exhibition stands and banners.

It’s a versatile unit, too. Like its predecessors, the Designjet L26500 is also going to be suitable for vehicle graphics and wraps, plus other exterior jobs which compete with solvent-based technologies. One of the benefits of latex printing technologies has always been the ability to overlaminate prints immediately without fear of outgassing, thus speeding up the finishing process.

HP is also addressing training for its latex printing technologies, having just announced a ‘university’ as well as its Ecosolutions Trained Printing Company programme.

Target audience
Sign-makers and display producers who want a good, all-round machine which has the benefits of solvent-based technology without the smell, and who want to be able to participate more in the move to greener production methods. It’s also well suited to architects and designers who want to print their concepts for commercial and domestic interiors on a variety of different materials.

Relevant applications
General signs and displays on flexible materials, vehicle graphics and wraps, exhibition graphics and banners. The L26500 can also work with digital textiles to produce soft signs, wall coverings and interior décor.

Pros and cons
HP has built on the initial concept of its latex printing technologies and the earlier machines in the series with improvements to material handling and ink properties. The ability to work with digital textiles for soft signs complements the printer’s versatility for a wide range of indoor and outdoor jobs, including vehicle graphics. This makes it a good choice for users wanting to produce general six-colour jobs with an environmental emphasis. On the other side of the coin, PSPs won’t find white or metallic options on this machine, and nor is there yet a matched cutter for people wanting to produce print-and-cut applications.

Verdict
The HP Designjet L26500 is a good, flexible all-rounder for general display production and for those wanting an inexpensive step into soft signs but who don’t want to follow the dye sublimation route. The technology addresses plenty of environmental issues, helped by HP’s recycling programme and its new training courses.

HP Designjet L26500 is ideal for Vehicle Wrapping

Wrap experts drives increased customer Traffic with the HP Designjet L26500

Watch the Wrap Experts Video

A mutual passion for cars and graphic design—that’s what first led Duston Noble, Robby Burnett, and Justin Schuldies into the vehicle wrapping business. But it’s been their devotion to the craft that has helped elevate the entire industry.

In 2007, Noble, Burnett, and Schuldies opened the doors to Wrap Experts—a school and business dedicated to the art and science of outfitting vehicles with custom vinyl graphics—after the trio had spent nearly a decade refining their skills through hands-on experience.

In four short years, Wrap Experts has become renowned for its training programmes, custom wrap services, and www.thewrapresource.com, a networking site for wrap professionals with more than 3,000 members in more than 120 countries.

To maintain that reputation for quality and innovation, Wrap Experts has turned to HP Latex Printing Technologies and the HP Designjet L26500 Printer to meet the demands and expectations of its students, clients, and peers.

“Being a training facility requires us to be on top of new tools, new techniques, and new materials,” Noble says. “HP has been very good to us in providing superior technology that really no one else on the market is using and it has benefited our company greatly.”

A new solution 

Noble, Burnett, and Schuldies spent years plying their craft with solvent-based printers before switching to HP Latex Printing Technologies last year, first with the HP Designjet L25500 Printer and now with the new HP Designjet L26500.

“We absolutely love it,” Noble says. “Compared with the solvent world that we’re used to dealing in, it’s really a breath of fresh air. The latex technology allows us to do a lot of things that solvent didn’t, and it has increased our productivity by leaps and bounds.”

Routine challenges included solvent ink not outgassing properly, seeping through the wrap, becoming extremely sticky, degrading the vinyl adhesive, and compromising the graphics. As a result, the solvent machines often necessitated continuous monitoring.

“I don’t want to babysit a printer,” Burnett says. “I want to queue up five jobs and be able to let it print at night and not have to worry about it piling up on the floor or anything else.”

The quick-drying advances of HP Latex Printing Technologies have saved Wrap Experts up to 24 to 36 hours on every job, which was previously spent outgassing solvent prints. Now the company can go from printing to lamination to installation without interruption.

“We want to have the best equipment that makes our job easier and faster,” Burnett says. “I love the fact that I can print and laminate it all in the same hour if I need to. That makes my life a lot easier.”

The company’s solvent printers also typically required frequent and costly maintenance. In contrast, the low-maintenance HP Designjet L26500—along with easier and more affordable access to routine replacement parts like printheads—has meant less downtime and more savings.

“Time is money,” Burnett says. “The less time we’re down and the more we can streamline production, the more money we save and the more money we make.”

School of thought

Wrap Experts is first and foremost a training facility, providing tutelage to as many as 150 students annually. A large part of the curriculum involves teaching trainees to use the best technology available. In this case, that’s the HP Designjet L26500.

“All the students who come here are introduced to the HP Latex printer, and they all leave here wanting one,” Noble says. “It sells itself.”

In addition to training, Wrap Experts also offers custom wraps primarily for high-end vehicles, including racing teams, hot rods, and other “show” cars worth up to $100,000 USD.

“The owners of these cars are extremely particular,” Noble says. “If it looks like a sticker, they don’t want it on their car. It has to emulate the look of paint, and so perfection in the installation process is paramount.”

With discerning customers, students, and the industry itself looking to Wrap Experts to set the standard, there’s no room for anything but the best.

“We want people to come up really close and scrutinise everything,” Noble said. “I’ve actually had people at car shows come up to one of our wraps, look at it for a few minutes, reach out and touch it, and say ‘That’s a nice paint job.’ At that point, my job is done.”
