EFI recently announced that Houston, Texas-based visual communications and graphics manufacturer Foxmark Corporation, has installed its third EFI VUTEk superwide format printer, a 3.2-metre VUTEk GS3250 Pro UV flatbed/roll printer installed with a new EFI Fiery proServer. Almost immediately after completing the installation in mid July, the company hit the ground running for the printer's very first job: a 50x200-foot sign from the Houston Rockets to welcome the basketball team's newly signed superstar center, Dwight Howard. "There is a lot of excitement about this signing in Houston and the installation is in a highly visible space along Interstate 59, so we were glad when we learned about the job," said Foxmark's president and founder, Richard Fox. "We knew we wanted the added capacity and speed we could get with the 3.2-metre, UV VUTEk printer, and installation went smoothly enough that we could meet a tight production deadline." Foxmark started printing panels for the sign in Fast-4 production mode on a Monday evening. The following morning, an installation crew began installing the panels using two 120-foot boom lifts. Foxmark continued printing while the installers worked. The sign, which features an image of Howard and teammate James Harden, took approximately three days to print and install. Foxmark has also used 3M products exclusively since it was founded 18 years ago and is one of 23 authorised 3M Scotchprint graphics manufacturers in the country. The company completed 3M MCS Warranty certification and prints all of its graphics using 3M media and co-branded EFI VUTEk 3M ink, ensuring that its output is eligible for warranty coverage.
