Orbus Incorporated, one of U.S.A’s leading manufacturers and wholesale distributors of tradeshow, exhibit and display products, is proud to announce the expansion of their in-house graphics department with the purchase of a Jet-i 3324 Aquajet grand format printer, from Gandinnovations of Toronto, Canada. The Jet-i 3324 Aquajet was recently voted ‘Best Textile Printer of the Year’ by the EDPA.

The 600 sq. ft. per hour print production speeds and sturdy, quality construction of the Jeti 3324 Aquajet will provide the increased capacity and reliability to take Orbus’ busy 24-7 production environment to the next level. However, productivity wasn’t the only consideration. In 2008 Orbus initiated a company wide ‘green’ policy in preparation for ISO 14001 certification. They felt, as a company, that their printer choices should reflect their responsibility to the planet and their endeavors to reduce their carbon footprint.

The Jeti 3324 Aquajet is a great eco-friendly print solution. It uses non-toxic, VOC-free, water-based ink and prints directly to fabric that can be made from recycled polyester. These lighter weight polyester banner and flag fabrics require fewer raw materials for their manufacture. As a result, the finished graphics are lighter, reducing the impact of associated transportation, making the whole package just about as eco-friendly as Orbus can make it.

The new Jet-i 3324 Aquajet is the third grand format machine that Orbus has purchased from Gandinnovations in the last two years, including a direct to substrate UV and a dye sub printer. It joins nine other inkjet printing machines all running over twenty hours a day.
