Bamboo Creations, a family-run business based in Banbury, has invested in a new HP Latex 800W printer as part of an effort to improve its productivity and enhance its environmental credentials.

The company, which specialises in wide-format print production, works directly for the likes of CenterParcs and also counts Royal Ascot, Warwick Castle, The Jockey Club, Sea Life and Emirates among its end-user customers. Bamboo Creations believes that working with prestigious brands like these means that it not only has to ensure that it delivers print to the highest quality, but also remains aware of its environmental impact so as to meet the strict criteria set by such customers.

The HP Latex 800W fits perfectly into this eco-conscious approach to production, with is Greenguard Gold-certified water-based inks and other eco-credentials. The wide range of substrates it is able to print onto will also allow the company to expand its service offering and explore new markets. This range includes fabrics, textiles and canvas, alongside self-adhesive vinyls, wall coverings, synthetics and mesh.

Bamboo Creations’ director Emma Dixon expanded, ‘We decided that it was time to upgrade our printers and enhance our capabilities, enabling greater productivity while maintaining the sustainable benefits and print quality.

‘We already had an HP printer, and its performance and quality – combined with our own high level of service and quality control – has helped us stand out from the crowd. It was critical that the new printer met our needs to enhance capability, increase speed without impacting quality and to continue to deliver against our sustainability promise.’

‘We have only been running the printer for a matter of weeks, but we are already incredibly excited about the new materials we can use on the machine, which will in turn support further production in-house at our facility in Banbury.’
