HP Latex Customer Case Study: Fineline Design
Discover how Fineline Design in Johannesburg improved print quality, reduced costs, and expanded capabilities with the HP Latex 700W
Manny De Souza, Managing Director – Fineline Design, Johannesburg
“The HP Latex 700W is the fastest and most productive machine we’ve ever used.”
The Challenge
Fineline Design, a Johannesburg-based large format printing specialist, offers a wide range of services including banners, flags, signage, stickers, posters, canvas, wallpaper, POS displays, and vehicle wrapping through its Wrap Vehicles division. Previously, the company relied on outsourced printing, limiting control over production speed, costs, and quality. As demand grew, there was a clear need for an advanced in-house solution – particularly one capable of white ink printing to expand creative applications.
The Solution
Fineline Design partnered with Midcomp to install South Africa’s first HP Latex 700W printer – a next-generation solution designed to deliver:
-
- Seamless white ink printing
- High-speed production with vivid colours
- Deep contrast using rich blacks
- Sharp, high-resolution output
The Results
Since installing the HP Latex 700W, Fineline Design has achieved:
-
- Faster production speeds with improved efficiency
- Expanded capabilities with white ink printing on vinyl and Perspex
- Reduced costs by eliminating the need for lamination using overcoat technology
- Greater durability with scratch-resistant prints
- Higher print quality with enhanced colour vibrancy and detail
“We can now achieve results similar to a flatbed printer. The ability to reverse print onto vinyl and apply white ink opens new creative possibilities.” The machine has also enabled the company to produce high-impact vehicle wraps, including printing white onto solid black cast vinyl for more striking designs.
Technology Advantages
The HP Latex 700W delivers several key performance improvements:
-
- Larger printheads with more nozzles for higher productivity
- Enhanced curing and loading systems for better workflow efficiency
- Overcoat capability for added protection and cost savings
“The ink is far more robust and scratch-resistant, even without the overcoat. With the overcoat, durability improves even further, and the colour vibrancy is significantly higher.”
Business Impact
With these capabilities, Fineline Design expects strong growth in its fleet branding division, supported by faster turnaround times and reduced production costs.
Why Midcomp
Midcomp played a key role in supplying, installing, and supporting the HP Latex 700W.
“The installation went smoothly, and any minor issues were resolved quickly. I’ve worked with Midcomp for many years, and they’ve always supported us and ensured everything runs efficiently.”
HP Latex Printers FAQs
It is a large format printer that uses water-based latex inks, which are heat-cured during the printing process. This curing stage evaporates the water in the ink, leaving a thin, durable latex layer bonded to the substrate. The result is vibrant, long-lasting prints that come out dry and ready for immediate handling or installation. This makes them especially well-suited to indoor and outdoor signage applications in South Africa.
They can print on a wide variety of materials, including vinyl, wallpaper, canvas, textiles, films, banners, and other specialty substrates. This versatility makes them a popular choice for South African print shops producing signage, wall décor, retail graphics, and branded displays.
