In June 2024, following our celebration of First Display’s 20 year anniversary, we invested over £365,000 into new printing equipment and technology, including the Liyu Platinum Q3 XL.Â
Our newest equipment and technology update has enabled us to produce even higher quality work, with fast turnaround times, and has opened doors to new, larger sized, and more sustainable products.
