HP Large Format Print Media has a new corrugated sign printing solution: HP Production Coroplus Board. Traditionally, corrugated signs are printed on flatbed printers in mass quantities. This new product can print rigid, corrugated signs in on-demand quantities on HP PageWide XL Pro printers. This allows those who need signs to order them in the proper quantity instead of getting stuck with a bulk they'll never use. This product also assists print providers by keeping them from having to outsource rigid board sign requests or holding up their print schedule with fast turnaround or short-run sign projects. The product needs no setup and is available in pre-cut packs. Contact: HP Large Format Print Media, Palo Alto, CA, 877-656-7058, hp.com Nest Is Best
Easy Cut Studio, a developer of sign-making software, recently launched an enhancement to its vinyl-cutting software, EasyCut Software. The software enhancement offers shape nesting, which, rather than creating a grid, fits designs together and lays them out efficiently to reduce material waste during the printing process. Users who take advantage of the intuitive object arrangement option can reduce their material waste by 40 percent. In addition, the software update added cutter drivers, improved stability, fixed bugs, and now includes support of macOS Sonoma. This latest release is a fitting one for event marketers looking to reduce waste while making signs for their booths. Contact: Easy Cut Studio, Los Angeles, CA, easycutstudio.com Closer Look
BeMatrix USA, an organization that produces modular frames for sustainable trade show environment creation, recently announced the launch of its latest LEDskin panel: the P1.5. This LEDskin is designed for up-close viewing, which is perfect for show attendees who want to view content from closer than an aisle away. The product seamless integrates with BeMatrix frames and has larger viewing angles, smaller pixel pitch, and better color accuracy than its other products. Equally important for a traveling exhibit that can count on regular encounters with hundreds of people is its protective coating that repels dust and fingerprints, keeping the image sharp, clear, and beautiful.
