Monster buys Scitex XLjet 5+

Monster Digital, the largest superwide format digital printer in the Midlands, has embarked on an investment programme with a Scitex Vision XLjet 5+.

The Birmingham-based firm is set to extend its kit-list further this month adding a Nur Expedio, a 5m wide roll-to-roll UV-cured machine.

"We've just signed a deal for the Expedio, which  will arrive later this month," said commercial director Simon McKenzie.

"We bought it for a big new contract." The firm is also investigating a UV-cured flatbed to be installed later this year as part of its expansion plans.

It is finalising details to develop a new 4,000m2 factory combining operations with sister firm Hollywood Signs, which will be completed next summer.
