The Maidenhead-based distributor is now offering the two machines, the H2-104S and HS- 74S, following a launch in Japan late last year.

The 104" H2-104S and the 74" H2-74S can print in either eight- and four-colour configurations at maximum speeds of up to 100sqm an hour.

According to Melanie Enser, product marketing manager at Colourgen, the ColorPainter H2 Series has "unmatched productivity" and is suitable for a range of applications such as sign and banner businesses.

She said: "It prints images with consistent colour density at a maximum printing speed of 100sqm in four colour mode and 50sqm in eight colour mode.  

"In fact, the quality in four colour mode at 100sqm per hour is extremely impressive and makes this printer a true contender for users who need very high speed, quality banner printing."

Both machines are available now with the ColorPainter H2-74S retailing for £36,990 and the ColorPainter H2-104S costing £49,990, excluding tax and delivery.
