GPT Brings Award Winners to Market
Graphic Printing Technologies (GPT) is pleased to announce that at the recent awards ceremony at the SGIA Expo in the USA, Mimaki picked up five prestigious awards, across a number of categories. This represents a great achievement for Mimaki and further cements its standing in the industry and its reputation for launching high quality new products.
The Mimaki JFX-1631Plus, and its smaller sister machine, the JFX-1615Plus both received separate awards for “Best Grand Format Roll-to-Roll UV cured ink” and “Best Flatbed rigid with white ink UV below USD$200K” respectively. These awards for the new JFXPlus range signify the recent successful launch of the product that sports higher productivity and spectacular quality – and is suitable for both volume board printing output and high end, specialist printing.
The Mimaki JV33-160 and its bigger brother, the 2.6m wide JV33-260 both received awards for “Best Poster size solvent or latex printer” and “Best Grand Format Roll-to-Roll solvent or latex ink” respectively. The JV33 series is available in sizes from 1.3m up to the aforementioned 2.6m machine and delivers a winning combination of speed and high quality, coupled to low running costs and excellent creativity.
Mimaki’s final award was for the “Best digital ink - flexible UV ink for Backlit/Display” category and went to the pioneering LF-200 ink set that runs on the LED cure UV machines that include the roll-to-roll / flatbed UJV-160 and the award winning ‘JFX Plus’ series of flatbed printers.

Graphic Printing Technologies is Acquired by Amari Plastics plc
After just over two years of trading, which have already seen it become one of the UK’s leading wide format printing solutions providers, Graphic Printing Technologies (GPT) has announced its acquisition by Amari Plastics plc. The move gives GPT the commercial backing it needs to meet the next key phase of its business strategy, allowing it to expand its physical presence and market coverage.
Plans are already in place for GPT to move into a new and larger building, which will offer increased office and warehouse space, as well as boasting one of the UK’s largest and most advanced product showroom and demonstration facilities. GPT will also benefit from working with Amari Plastics’ established business management and administration systems.
Stuart Cole, General Manager of GPT, comments, “The key message to our customers, suppliers and the market in general is that this acquisition will allow us to not only maintain, but improve on the core principles of our business. GPT will still be in control of its own destiny and we will continue to provide the unrivalled service and support that has helped us grow to the position that made us attractive to Amari. The only real difference is that we now have the backing of a multi-national corporation, which means we will have much greater influence in the industry, particularly in terms of financial strength and business security.”
Robin Howard, Chief Finance Officer of Amari Plastics plc, comments, “GPT is an excellent acquisition for Amari Plastics and one that sits very neatly within our company portfolio. In a very short period, the company has grown to become a key player in the industry and have demonstrated exactly the sort of business acumen and approach we want to bring into our corporation. We will support GPT in its ongoing business objectives and fully expect the relationship to be hugely beneficial both in terms of profitability and market presence.”
The acquisition took place on Friday 2nd July and is effective immediately. Graphic Printing Technologies will trade under the same name, but as part of Amari Plastics plc, not as a limited company. Until the move to new premises, all phone numbers, contacts and emails will remain the same.
Stuart Cole concludes, “It was always our intention to build a business that would catch the attention of acquisitive organisations like Amari Plastics. My only real surprise is that it has come as soon as it has. However, this is very much due to the better than expected performance we have achieved in the market, despite operating through one of the worst recession in living memory. We have all worked really hard to achieve what we have so far and are very much looking forward to taking GPT on to the brand new levels that it was simply not possible to achieve on our own.”

Everyone loves a bargain and GPT is happy to assist
When we first took back a printer in part exchange for a new Mimaki we weren’t quite sure of the best way to deal with it. We took the view that if we refurbish it, get it looking and working like a new printer and offer a guarantee, we could probably get a fair price, while still giving customers a bargain.
As it has turned out, used and refurbished equipment has ultimately turned out to be a good contributor to our overall growth. We have now sold over 30 second hand printers and have lots of happy customers as a result. Our refurbished printers can still do a great job for people, and with budgets the way they are right now, saving money on the cost of a printer is an attractive proposition for a lot of people.
Take a look at the website to see what bargains are currently up for grabs.
