With an expanded portfolio of products to sell to the sign industry, Celmac are certainly giving it their all.

With a well attended Open Day in Melbourne a few weeks back, an excellent showing at the VIIE Gold Coast show last week and now an Open Day at the Queensland branch as well.

Andrew Wells with the Roland VP540 at the Companies Queensland Open Day

Andrew Wells, Celmac's marketing manager was prominent at all these events and told us that with the expanded portfolio it  was necessary that Celmac make the extra effort to get the word out about their exciting new products.

The new Roland VP540 was in action as visitors went through the main entrance at the Cooper's Plain premises of this growing company.

This 1.4 metre four-colour printer and cutter is one of Roland's fastest and most popular machines and offers a huge range of media options including adhesive-back vinyl, banner, paper, film, tarpaulin, and heat transfer paper.

Andrew took us through the set up procedure and showed off how easy this was. Presets can be programmed easily and accessed at the touch of a button. Included VersaWorks RIP software gives printers expanded possibilities with variable data printing for quick and easy customised prints and Roland Colour spot colour fidelity system delivering a perfect colour match every time.

After this demonstration, Andrew took us around to the back of the premises to show off the Celmac media collection and in particular the MACtac new products.

He told us that MACtac had a range of new media including the JT5829SPB Digitrans, a new printable self adhesive vinyl designed specifically for transit graphics. It has a black blockout backing which is a special feature allowing it to be applied over multiple coloured surfaces. It is rigid and easily applied with a low initial tack making immediate repositioning possible.
 
Wallwrap 100 Outdoor & 200 Indoor
‘Wallwrap’ is a fantastic new product that allows printed graphics to be applied to concrete and brick surfaces both vertically and horizontally. The product comes in two versions, one for indoor and one for outdoor.
 
JT5925PM
One product that is very popular in our market place is self adhesive vinyl’s that are Polymeric. This new printable SAV from MACtac is a 5 year polymeric giving high performance and stability. It also has a mercury release liner.
 
LF3399
This cold overlaminate product has been designed specifically for laminating fully conformable car skin self adhesive vinyl prints.

It is a super thin 30 Micron ultra clear cast PVC film with a solvent adhesive, UV inhibitors / stabilizers for 5 a year protection.
 
JT5528MBF
This MATT printable self adhesive vinyl product is fully conformable and is perfect for car skin graphics. It is also ‘bubble free’ which makes it easy to apply and easy to remove. It is fully conformable giving it the ability to warp concave and convex shapes.
 
JT5796MBF
This printable self adhesive vinyl product has a silver glass etched look and is also bubble free, making window applications easy.

EverGreen
Then the EverGreen fabrics from Dickson Coatings. PVC alternatives that cost a bit more but produce great results whilst actually adding to our environment and not taking from it. With a far lighter material that is PVC free, phtalate free, containing no extractible heavy metals and was not carcinogenic, the EverGreen media looks set to having a bright future. Printers can actually save money in reduced energy costs when using this lighter media.

The Gilman range of rigid media
Celmac took on the Gilman only in late 2007 and even Celmac themselves have been surprised at the positive market reaction to the products. Andrew explained that the foamboard range includes solutions for every display project. These are:

Insite Reveal; This is a standard paper-faced, multipurpose "memory" foamboard with the best performance of any board in its class. Available in bright-white or all-black, in 5mm or 10mm thicknesses.
 
Ryno Board; This product is more resistant to denting and warping than standard paper-faced foam boards. Exceptional compressive strength and superior dimensional stability. Available in all-white and all-black, 5mm and 10mm thicknesses
 
Duraplast; This is a premium, heavy-duty plastic-faced foam board with excellent moisture resistance and warp resistant. Duraplast has an excellent white point and is great for UV printing.
 
Insite Mag:
Also available from the Gilman range are some innovative products. Insite Reveal also comes in a fire resistant version. It was developed for applications requiring additional fire safety which have flame retardant additives in both the foam center and paper facers. Another fantastic feature of this range is that Insite and Duraplast are now available in a BIODEGRADABLE format. The paper-faced insite has an American SFI certification on its liner. Duraplast’s unique all-plastic liner is biodegradable and 100% recyclable.
