SMARTECH is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with HIVIS Group, supporting the business's latest investment in an HP Latex FS70W at Visual Impact Sydney.

As one of Australia's leading providers of signage, safety, and visual information systems, Newcastle-based HIVIS Group selected the HP Latex FS70W to complement its existing HP Latex 1500 and strengthen business continuity across its production operations.

The investment was driven by a need to increase redundancy, minimise potential downtime, and support the company's growing production requirements.

According to HIVIS Group Managing Director Brett Watson, the HP Latex FS70W was the ideal solution thanks to its proven reliability, speed, colour performance, and environmentally friendly water-based ink technology.

"We have always been impressed with the HP Latex range, and after experiencing downtime earlier this year, we recognised the importance of having a robust backup solution. The HP Latex FS70W was the natural choice for our business."

The HP Latex FS70W will play a critical role in supporting HIVIS Group's extensive production requirements, including rail graphics, safety signage, vehicle wraps, and other high-volume applications. As a major supplier to government organisations and transport networks across Australia, operational reliability and fast turnaround times remain essential to the company's success.

For SMARTECH, the installation demonstrates the value of building long-term partnerships and helping customers invest in technology that supports sustainable growth.

SMARTECH NSW Sign & Display Business Development Manager Tim Hawes said: "We're delighted to support HIVIS Group as they continue to invest in the future of their business. The HP Latex FS70W delivers the productivity, reliability, and versatility required in today's demanding print environment, while providing a platform for future expansion."

As an authorised HP Latex partner, SMARTECH works closely with customers to identify solutions that improve efficiency, reduce risk, and maximise return on investment. The HP Latex FS70W's advanced capabilities, combined with SMARTECH's nationwide service and support network, ensure customers have the tools and expertise needed to achieve long-term success.

This latest installation further strengthens the relationship between SMARTECH and HIVIS Group and reflects a shared commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and delivering outstanding outcomes for customers.

We thank HIVIS Group for their continued trust in SMARTECH and look forward to supporting their ongoing growth and future success.
