A local company, 11 FTC Enterprises, Inc., has several of these mammoth printers from HP that can directly print on wood, doors, tiles and other flat surfaces; lighted signs; tarpaulin streamers and billboards; cars, trucks and even on the body of the LRT/MRT trains; stores and retail booths signages; fabric and plastic...the list could go on and on.
A visit at 11 FTC's plant in Novaliches, Q.C. gave me a preview of the services they offer using the HP large-format printers which are quite awesome, especially for many of us whose concept of printers and printing are somewhat limited to laserjets or inkjets that churn out prints in A4, legal-size paper. The first photo below shows the new HP Scitex FB7500 at 11 FTC's facilities, and under it is a file photo of how the machine actually looks. The FB7500 (FB means flatbed) is a UV flatbed printer designed for industrial printing of high-quality exhibition graphics, backlit displays and posters, and many others.
A service bureau that works with 11 FTC called AGG Advertising Supplies can actually wrap your entire vehicle with customized designs stickers printed on HP Designjet LS25500 for about P8,000 minimum. HP uses its own Latex inks for jobs like this. HP Latex Inks produce prints that are eco-friendly as they are odorless, non-flammable, water-based and contain no hazardous air pollutants. Photos of their sample works below.
I'm familiar with the term "latex" but only because there was a huge paint job in our house recently and we had to buy large pails of latex paint. How I wish instead of those material we had this:
The above photos (poor quality courtesy of my old camera) show a wall of printed tiles (first pic) while the other one is covered by wall paper (second pic). Instead of using smelly ordinary latex paints that produce flat colors, HP large-format printers produced these sceneries to cover what otherwise would be plain walls. Now, isn't this something you'd want to have in your own home, room or place of work?
