A smooth move for Symbol due to high-quality  products and training from CMYUK

Symbol goes digital after 30 years of traditional screen printing and have bought a Mimaki JFX200-2531, Mimaki UCJV300 and Esko Kongsberg X24 Starter from CMYUK that resides in their new production facility.

Symbol is a creative design, print and sign company that has recently gone completely digital after 30 years of traditional screen-printing. They boast a new and impressive production facility that includes a Mimaki JFX200-2531, Mimaki UCJV300 and Esko Kongsberg X24 Starter, all purchased from CMYUK, the UK's largest independent supplier of large format digital printers, cutting equipment and materials.
 
The purchase of a new, larger premises was a huge undertaking, essential for company growth. Paul Walker, MD at Symbol, says: “The overall project was quite stressful as we not only moved but needed new printers and cutters to kit the new production facility out. Thanks to the constant, organized help from CMYUK we managed it and can now work so much more efficiently and scale up our company. We received fantastic on-site training that was vital in order to prevent time-wasting.”
