SignSHOW L A M I N AT I N G E Q U I PM E N T/ S U P P L I E S Do You Hate Your Laminator? What if it was Designed by a Sign Maker Instead? Ezy Taper® is everything a sign business could want! This device really was designed from scratch for the sign industry by a sign fabricator, Warrick Pye, who was unhappy with his laminators. If you buy an Ezy Taper, you will end up with more than you bargained for: You will get a laminator plus a print mounter, a transfer tape applicator, a background coater, and more—all for the price of one! What’s more is that the Ezy Taper does it all with no bubbles, no stretching, and no misalignment! Anything that will fit between its rollers can be stuck together (or even taken apart). The superfast Ezy Taper is also capable of laying film over uneven surfaces such as rivets. To make the deal even sweeter, Ezy Taper requires only a single operator. www.signequip.com
ILFORD Introduces Two New Wide Format Innovations ILFORD has released two new products: ILFORD OMNIJET Trans and ILFORD OMNIJET NanoSolvent. ILFORD OMNIJET Trans is an inkjet alternative to traditional backlit silver halide products and has been developed for use with all wide format aqueous printers. It produces impeccable image quality even in dense black areas and skin tones and is perfectly adapted for use in the latest generation of backlit display devices. The new material also leaves a smaller environmental footprint by eliminating wet chemical processing. ILFORD OMNIJET NanoSolvent is a unique new layer offering that increases productivity with solvent and eco-solvent printing. The layer offers a very fast printing and drying speed, enabling print service providers to laminate quickly and avoid ink transfer when the material is rolled up. The layer will be coated onto a variety of PVC-free substrates, and ILFORD OMNIJET NanoSolvent versions of the FSC (C107238)certified and PEFC-certified OMNIJET photo papers will also be available. www.ilford.com
