Visual Impact – Smartech showcases expanded range of hardware brands

Smartech is showcasing its expanded portfolio of hardware at Visual Impact in Brisbane this week.

On stand is the new HP630W HP Latex 630W printer. The printer features a 1.63 m maximum media width, 1-litre ink cartridges, and supports rolls up to 42 kg. It operates at up to 14 sqm/hr speeds and includes white ink capabilities. “Smartech is a full line distributor of HP with exclusive access to the HP Stitch” explains Brett Wark, NSW Sales and National Product Manager Sign & Display.

Another new offering is the OKI and Graph Tec label printer and finishing system designed for short run labelling. This combination is designed to reduce the amount of labour required, as the finishing system slits top and bottom, as well as weeding and laminating to produce finished labels.

Also on stand is the Epson SureColour 80600 64" large format printer that offers a wide choice of inks for a variety of print applications, including high-value large format photo imaging, PANTONE^® certified POS & signage, back-lit displays and window decorations, wallpapers, surface finishes & décor. 

A more recent addition to the Smartech portfolio is the AGFA line of industrial printers available exclusively through Smartech. Whilst there is no product on stand there are videos of the latest application called the high 5 where two robots are paired to create an automatic pallet on pallet off capability resulting in signicantly improved efficiency. Also on stand is AGFA expert Phillip Burns who is available to answer any questions about the full range of industrial printers.

Smartech has also recently announced a partnership to become a distributor for Canon Production Printing

Brett Wark says “It’s been an exciting 12 months with the expansion of our product portfolio and new partnerships making us a one stop shop for print service providers. Smartech has a warehouse in each state with both sales support and service technicians, offering our customers potential for growth and peace of mind that they have back up and support.”
