Perfect Colours adds EFI machines to portfolio

Perfect Colours has signed a strategic partnership with EFI that will see it supply and support two of the manufacturer's hybrid wide-format printers in the UK.

The London-based reseller is now offering the H1625 LED wide-format printer and Vutek H2000 Pro printer.

The company, which launched in 1999, supplies large-format printing and finishing equipment from HP, Epson, KIP and Inktec among others, alongside inks, media and software.

Sales director Jon Telling said: “We wanted a wider range of flatbed options: HP has its own range and we felt, looking at EFI, we could add something.

“We are very service led, have 12 engineers and the kit is really good quality. We thought we could bring something to the party.”

Perfect Colours will sell the machines in the UK and offer support from its team of engineers as well as a technical hotline, training, online ordering and complementary systems.

Managing director Jason Burroughs said: “EFI's high-productivity platforms fit with our portfolio. We don't expect to sell a machine and leave customers to fend for themselves.”

The 1.6m H1625 LED roll-fed and flatbed engine is billed as a low-cost point of entry into a high-value application space.

The 2m Vutek H2000 Pro printer's extensible platform enables rapid, six-colour production on to a range of rigid and flexible substrates, with imaging and production options.

EFI EMEA vice-president Paul Cripps said: “Perfect Colours has the reputation and demonstrable track record in service and support, so they're a logical strategic fit as an EFI partner."

Last year Perfect Colours expanded its range with HP’s Latex 3000InkTec’s Jetrix range of UV flat-bed printers and Epson’s SureColor F Series textile printers.

The business will show off the EFI machines at next week's Sign and Digital UK show in Birmingham.
