Printing on the board walk
More than 250m2 of fine art prints were produced using a Mutoh Zephyr UV printer as part of the Theatre at the Seaside festival in Oostende. Each of the 50 photographs was printed directly onto wide format PVC foam board panels and exhibited along the seaside.
Mutoh Europe's managing director, Arthur Vanhoutte, said: "For Mutoh Europe, this project represented an ideal test case to explore the limits of our Zephyr UV inkjet printer for wide format rigid board printing.
"For photo enlargements of this size, images are usually tiled into smaller sections to be joined together afterwards, however, this is not the most elegant way of processing or presenting fine art photographs. Individual photographs for the exhibition in Oostende were realised in one go on our Zephyr UV printer. The photos were reproduced on Kömatex PVC foam board measuring four metres wide by 1.5m high. To handle the 25kg Kömatex boards, the Zephyr's input and output tables were extended.
"This project proves the flexibility of the Zephyr UV printer as an alternative for print jobs that are usually run on larger and more expensive UV printers."
