Case Study

Signage Company Scales with Inkjet Flatbed Production

A signage company producing point-of-purchase displays needed faster turnaround and design flexibility. NOVA's inkjet flatbed with 1200 dpi resolution at speeds up to 15 square meters per hour transformed their production. The printer handles acrylic, aluminum composite, and glass panels up to 2500mm x 1300mm. UV-cured prints resist UV exposure and weathering. Within 18 months, the company increased production capacity by 220%, reduced lead times from 10 days to 48 hours, and expanded clients from 450 to 1,200. Digital workflow eliminated screen-making costs, saving $180,000 annually.

Industrial Manufacturer Prints Durable Metal Panel Markings

An industrial manufacturer producing control panels and equipment tags needed permanent markings on metal substrates. NOVA's inkjet flatbed with metal-bonding UV inks withstand 150°C temperatures and chemical exposure. The printer handles panel thicknesses up to 50mm with vacuum tables. Over two years, the manufacturer printed 850,000 panels with zero marking failures. Digital workflow enabled just-in-time production, eliminating pre-printed inventory and reducing costs by 45%. Variable data printing during the same pass as graphics eliminated secondary labeling.

Furniture Manufacturer Customizes Decorative Panels

A furniture manufacturer wanted custom decorative panels for cabinets and tabletops with unlimited design options. NOVA's inkjet flatbed enabled digital printing on wood, MDF, and composite panels with photo-quality graphics. The printer handles panel sizes up to 2000mm x 1200mm with thicknesses up to 60mm. UV-cured prints resist scratching, moisture, and UV fading. Within 12 months, the manufacturer launched 450 custom design options, increasing average order value by 65% and growing revenue by 92%.
