After a series of technical faults at their local cutting company, Meshtex had to take matters into their own hands. To avoid delays of up to two weeks – and prevent losing big customers – they had no choice but to manage the trimming themselves, in-house. Managing Director Steven Bull quickly realised that it was time to make the crucial investment in a new cutter. And with UK Flexa distributor Papergraphics’ guidance, Meshtex settled on a brand new Flexa Miura Wallpaper Cutter.
Talking of the purchase process, Steven commented: “The Papergraphics team has been incredibly supportive from the start. They are reliable and competitive suppliers, always attentive to our needs, and capable of handling even the most complex requests. Their customer-centric approach is a breath of fresh air — friendly, honest, and they explained the benefits of the Flexa machine compared to other trimmers on the market so clearly that choosing the Flexa was a no-brainer.”
Now running smoothly alongside their HP Latex and Canon UV printers, the Flexa Miura has quickly become an integral part of the Meshtex production line. The longstanding UK print provider has seen a dramatic improvement in efficiency and quality that has not only preserved their best customer relationships, but has also set a new standard for their production capabilities.
Meshtex settled on the Flexa Miura after seeing first-hand how intuitive and user-friendly the design was, combined with a remarkable level of precision that would make even a Swiss watchmaker blush. “The trimming accuracy is outstanding,” Steven enthused. “The machine detects the printed trimming guides and automatically adjusts the input roll for any movement in the wallpaper substrate. Plus, with multiple blades, we can produce both single- and double-width wallpaper rolls.”
The difference in output, Meshtex shares, is truly night and day. “We haven’t had a single complaint regarding trimming, and our manual quality checks confirm that the trimming is perfect. We highly recommend Flexa, as the machine has completely met our needs and has been issue-free since installation. We’re also very pleased with Papergraphics. They’re always available to provide technical support for our printing equipment and substrate inquiries as well as for the Flexa machine.”
