FUJIFILM SOUTH AFRICA INSTALLS ACUITY LED 1600 II
The company ’ s core business is the distribution of solar control window film and sign writing graphics . The printer allows SFF to show customers what can be done with a little imagination . From features such as spot vanishing to the ability to print multilayers , customers are able to see what can be done on LG Hausys Sign and Graphics material .
He stated that this level of awareness is good for the industry as a whole and hopefully , in time , will provide sustainable income to everyone using their products .
‘ The service offered by Fujifilm South Africa far exceeded our expectations . Every detail was handled with great care and attention to detail . A special mention needs to be made to technicians Gabriel Naidoo and Calvin Pillay , who had spent weeks with us ensuring that our team was brought up to speed with the workings of the Acuity LED 1600 II ,’ added Latchmanpersad .
Fujifilm South Africa installed an Acuity LED 1600 II at the Durban-based Solar Film Foundation ( SFF ) in March 2018 , following a sale made at the Sign Africa Durban Expo .
‘ At SFF we pride ourselves as being a forward thinking company ,’ said sales manager Prasheen Latchmanpersad . ‘ We are always looking out for new and innovative ways to help our customers grow their business .’
As a distributor of LG Hausys Sign and Graphics material , the company sought a printer that would enhance the quality of their sign writing media . From SFF ’ s research , the Acuity LED 1600 II met these requirements . With its hybrid design , LED print technology and service , SFF believes it got the best deal .
Another plus was the after care service . ‘ Here a special thanks needs to be made to Fujifilm South Africa ’ s sales and marketing coordinator Anja Kirton and graphics systems division ― general manager Tomo Hemmi , who met with our marketing and sales team in Durban to ensure that they understood how to market and sell the services of the Acuity LED 1600 II . With continued support from Fujifilm , it will be easy to succeed with this printer ,’ concluded Latchmanpersad .
