Sign and digital UK

Printing, stretching, hanging – and covering anything that stood still long enough with a vinyl graphic – it was all action on Innova Art stand K30 with the GOframe canvas stretching system, the YouTac® décor range and Wrap Master Ruan Greeff of Wrap My Ride setting the pace at Sign and Digital UK, NEC, Birmingham, 28-30 March 2017. Perfect drum-tight canvases in minutes? With no specialist expertise, just a table, a craft knife and glue? It’s got to be GOframe. Sensational graphic displays that print, adhere and pull off again without damage or unsightly residue? You guessed it: YouTac®. It shouldn’t really be any surprise that the Innova Art stand was such a draw. “GOframe and YouTac® were certainly the products visitors most wanted to see,” said Innova Art MD Mike Gonzalez. “What we’ve worked on, and had huge successes with, is developing products that work right across the skills base of a company. Whether you’ve been doing a job for twenty years or twenty days, with GOframe and YouTac® you always get great results.” Innova Art saw at least as many visitors as at last year’s show and while GOframe and YouTac® were hits, “there was interest right across the range,” adds Gonzalez. “Our award-winning JetMaster® display system, another way to make easy work of gallery wraps, was another huge success. And we had tremendous interest in our range of digital media and canvases. We keep winning prizes because we care so much about the end product: our customers’ prints and the impact they make on their customers. It marks us out and it marks our customers out, too.” Innova Art were once again joined by Sign-Tronic, demonstrating just how many JetMaster® direct print [...]

The ingenious GOFrame canvas stretching system and award-winning JetMaster Image Display range were the star attractions on the Innova Art stand at Sign & Digital UK, NEC, Birmingham, 19-21 April. The double-whammy package of easy assembly and high quality finish of the GOFrame and JetMaster products made them the biggest draw. Sign-Tronic’s Oce Arizona flatbed printer, demonstrating how quick and easy it is to print stylish 3D art on the full range of JetMaster direct print media, was kept running throughout the show. “The majority of visitors to our stand were print service providers, with a primary interest in décor and display,” said Jon Courtiour, Innova Art Business Director; Decor, Display and Retail Solutions. “What’s exciting was visitors’ interest in expanding their offer beyond signage and wide format – they were looking for exactly the kind of value-adding display options that GOFrame and JetMaster provide. Products like this help differentiate a business from its rivals, at the same time as they can dramatically improve margins.” As a company, Innova Art believes it drew more visitors to the stand in 2016 than at Sign & Digital UK 2015. Many were from the UK and Ireland, but some were from further afield including Eastern Europe and Africa. “Wherever visitors come from, they are looking for flexibility, quality and cost-efficiency – and we had many excellent discussions which proved to me that products like GOFrame and JetMaster do just that,” said Courtiour.
