First demonstrated by Anitech at last year's VIIE Sydney show, the Jetrix has done well for Anitech with several installations across the country and now a first for Queensland with Commex of Brisbane taking the Jetrix 3015FQ model.
Commex has made a name for itself amongst architects and other specifiers for their interior and exterior decorative panels of glass, aluminium and other rigid substrates.

The company also undertakes more traditional wide format print and signage applications via a sizeable portfolio of equipment coupled with a skilled work force.
"It was primarily for the rigid panels that we opted for the Jetrix", said Aaron Alcorn, managing director of Commex. "Our aging Arizona was still performing well but we decided it was time for an upgrade and looked at the Jetrix at last year's VIIE show and subsequently placed an order."
"We were particularly impressed by the fact that the Jetrix machines overcome the problem experienced by many UV machines of ink adherence on non porous substrates
by putting down a primer before the colours. In addition the Jetrix can print white which is very important for us."
The Jetrix is a South Korean machine and sold in Australia by Anitech. Dave West of Anitech told Wide Format Online that at the VIIE show last year delegates tested the
ink adhesion by scratching and rubbing the prints but failed to remove it. The machine uses the latest head technology from Dimatix and can place the dots up to 3 levels
meaning that text as small as 2 point can easily be printed at 1000 dpi."
"In addition the printer can reach production speeds of up to 30 square metres per hour which makes it one of the fastest on the market in its bracket." said Dave.
Jetrix in South Korea is owned by the giant Inktec organisation.
