Chertsey-based graphic specialist Light Brigade has ordered an Inca Digital Eagle 44 flatbed wide-format digital printer.


The machine, due to be installed in September, was ordered from Sericol at Screenprint 2001 last week.


"Its ideal for doing runs of up to 250 and as its pin-registered it can do double- sided," said managing director David Burton. "The Eagle is the first digital press to take a real bite out of the traditional screen market."


It will be used to reduce the amount of screen printed work the firm subcontracts, and will also offer a complementary service to the firms four Vutek wide-format printers.


Light Brigade is also opening a northern site in Warrington or Manchester later this year, which will also be used as a distribution centre for consumables by sister firm B&P Graphics.
