Rolls-Royce chooses SureColor SC-S70600
Ltd Limited turns to Epson's SureColor SC-S70600 to produce stunning interior manifestations with silver for Rolls-Royce.
‘Trusted to Deliver Excellence’ is the Rolls-Royce motto and it impacts everything the company does. As a result, Rolls-Royce has an impressive global brand and reputation for excellence and innovative power solutions on land, at sea and in the air. The company’s attention to quality influences every aspect of the business – including a new visitor reception space at its Derby facility in the UK.
The Rolls-Royce Derby facility employs over 11,000 people, many of them involved in developing and manufacturing aero engines. Today, Rolls-Royce has 12,500 engines in service around the world and two-thirds of all long-haul departures from London Heathrow are powered by Rolls-Royce engines!
When designing the new Rolls-Royce Derby visitor reception interior, architectural and interior practice tp bennett wanted to reflect the prestigious Rolls-Royce brand. So they chose manifestation print specialists Ltd Limited in London to produce the stunning silver, white and blue interior wall and glass graphics they designed for the space. Ltd Limited was the perfect choice for fulfilling the demanding Rolls-Royce brief because it has an innovative SureColor SC-S70600 wide format system which prints high-quality, smooth gradient CMYK alongside metallic silver and high-opacity white.
Ltd Limited printed the designs onto clear vinyl and wallpaper to tight dimension and quality specifications at its London facility and installed the manifestations on-site in Derby. The result is an impressive and unique space that reflects Rolls-Royce's high brand values.
Ltd Limited was the first company in the UK to invest in the 10-colour SureColor SC-S70600 wide format printer, Epson's first 64-inch printer to support white and metallic ink simultaneously. “We chose this innovative printer because it combines the ability to print high-quality colour graphics together with silver and white on a wide range of materials – all on one machine and in one pass,” says Seymour Reeves, Director, Ltd Limited. “Before the SureColor SC-S70600, we would have had to use multiple printers to create the high quality manifestations that would meet the ultra-high quality brand requirements of Rolls-Royce.”
“Before every project, especially when new technology is being used, there are questions such as: What’s the quality? What's the production time? How will it look? The SureColor SC-S70600 is particularly good at delivering on all of these,” says Seymour. “It enables us to print really good quality and smooth metallic and white gradients, and mixtures of both - effects we couldn’t achieve before. We were given very strict directions on what was required. It was a challenging project including a 15m area featuring a continuous graphic which had to match exactly. Every drop we hang, every piece of manifestation we put up, has to surpass the expectations of everyone involved. We are very proud of the results and I’m glad to say that Rolls-Royce and tp bennett loved what we did.”
