Drives Localized Interior D\u00e9cor Solutions to National Client Base with New VUTEk 5r+ Printer"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Fremont, CA (March 25, 2021)<\/em> \u2014 A new EFI VUTEk 5r+ UV LED roll-to-roll superwide-format inkjet printer from Electronics For Imaging, Inc. is helping Katy, Texas-based Foxmark Corporation drive continued growth in commercial and retail interiors for national clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foxmark\u2019s large-scale offering producing high-end interior graphics requires a powerhouse solution, and the need for faster and bigger output led the company to the EFI VUTEk 5r+ printer. \u201cHorsepower is always important when doing national programs,\u201d said Foxmark CEO and Founder Richard Fox of his latest printer installation. His company, which has an additional 198-inch wide VUTEk UV roll-to-roll printer, a VUTEk FabriVU 340 disperse dye sublimation soft signage printer, and a 126-inch wide VUTEk hybrid flatbed\/roll-to-roll UV LED printer, is leveraging its substantial printing strengths with Foxmark\u2019s own online offerings to provide its customers with comprehensive, tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated management for localized, custom graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foxmark has successfully established a unique value proposition for retail and commercial customers in offering end-to-end, localized, customized solutions for interior printing applications. \u201cClients can set up display design options based on their needs,\u201d explained Foxmark Sales Director Gary Paczosa. Retail businesses are able to identify a set of standardized graphics for all sites that can then be ordered and localized for each new or renovated location. \u201cLocalization is the hottest trend for national retailers and Foxmark provides integrated solutions to meet that demand,\u201d added Paczosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers initiate an order through an online portal \u2013 one that was developed by Foxmark\u2019s own software engineers. The portal \u2013 which handles all client reviews and approvals \u2013 is integrated with the printers on the production floor. When the projects are approved, the orders progress to manufacturing, shipping, and on-site installation. All phases are managed within the proprietary Foxmark portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our company divisions is Signpost USA. It is another online portal to manage and coordinate outdoor signage for commercial real estate companies nationwide,\u201d said Paczosa. \u201cCustomers log in to the portal, customize a preapproved template, and submit the order. Production, installation and invoicing are all handled electronically. The sign is installed exactly where the client requested based on GPS coordinates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superior capabilities for high-volume, premium-quality output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foxmark can now deliver more in its online-driven, comprehensive offering thanks to the VUTEk 5r+ printer\u2019s extreme versatility. Designed to offer superior throughput with a low total cost of ownership and the most available options, the printer delivers premium imaging with high ink coverage, high color density and a wide color gamut. It operates at speeds up to 5,160 square feet per hour, and with optional white ink can print all applicable multi-layer applications fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VUTEk 5r+ features 7-picoliter UltraDrop Technology, which provides superb transitions, vignettes, skin tones and shadows. It also features numerous important options that give users the power to print and finish more jobs per shift, including double-bladed slitters and multi-roll support for automated backlit and blockout printing. EFI – 3M SuperRange inks used on the printer give Foxmark and its customers the ability to deliver products covered by the 3M MCS Warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Foxmark Corporation sees opportunity in branding and in-store retail applications, corporate interior work \u2013 which requires using a broader range of media \u2013 is a large and growing part of the business. \u201cThat\u2019s what drew us to the 5r+,\u201d said Paczosa, \u201cthe ability to print on various kinds of substrates, whether it be polyester or films.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EFI Fiery proServer digital front ends (DFEs) Foxmark uses to drive its fleet of EFI VUTEk printers deliver robust production capabilities and high-end color. EFI\u2019s exclusive Fiery Accelerated System Technology (FAST RIP) for the DFEs accelerate file processing speeds by an average of 5 times, reducing printer idle time to a minimum. Advanced spot- and process-color optimization on the Fiery proServers eliminate complicated device link profiles and facilitate getting color right first time. Features such as Fiery Dynamic Smoothing ensure smooth gradations, reduced compression artifacts and clean highlight areas without affecting fonts and fine contours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the VUTEk 5r+ to break boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to handling a wide variety of flexible substrates, the VUTEk 5r+ printer features specially developed white printing modes that offer increased speed and enhanced quality. \u201cWith white inks, we\u2019re seeing a lot in corporate interiors for decorative window films, and in wall coverings,\u201d said Fox. \u201cThe 5r+ doubles the speed of white printing, so that was a big benefit for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has also been seeing growth in translucent projects and sign faces \u2013 projects that the company\u2019s newest printer excels at. \u201cColor-white-color was another reason for our move to the 5r+,\u201d said Fox. The printer\u2019s white printing modes allow for up to five layers, improving versatility and range of projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foxmark\u2019s new VUTEk printer also features EFI\u2019s industry-leading LED curing technology, offering both cost savings and environmental benefits. \u201cThe LED ink\u2019s GreenGuard certification was appealing to us,\u201d said Fox. \u201cWe know sustainability is important to our customers, and so we are emphasizing that messaging in our marketing and social media.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foxmark Corporation is starting to thrive with the printer\u2019s extensive capabilities, and relies on EFI expertise to break into new application opportunities and drive innovation for its clients. \u201cEFI is dialed into what\u2019s going on in various markets,\u201d Fox said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
