Greetings readers, here we meet again. We are now entering Part 5 of my visit to the 24th Malaysia Sign and LED Exhibition, have you found them to be interesting? I'll be writing a colourful post ahead, so read on.

I'm sure you are familiar with colours like red, blue, yellow, orange, purple, etc that are enough to describe the colours we see in everyday life. Sometimes we use additional words like pale, light, dark to describe colours more specifically.

But, in an industrial setting, there comes a need to pinpoint the exact colour to be used, important for those working in publishing, graphic design, interior design, architecture or fashion industry. While we enjoy our reading of colourful newspapers and magazines everyday, publishers and printers working behind the scenes are working hard to bring the best to us, thus having a need to talk about colours in a non-ambiguous way.

In order to refer to colours accurately, products from Pantone readily answers our need.


Colour guides have all the colours that we see on print and screens. Each colour is given a number for identification purpose.


What is CMYK? It stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). It is a system used by printers to identify colours. To get a specific colour, inks of cyan, magenta, yellow are mixed while black ink is used for darker shades.




Pantone View is actually a service to provide inspiration as well as information on colour trends for designers.


Meet the product that caught my eye - Pantone Capsure!

It's a novel scanner to tell apart colours! How do you use it? Just place its detector on a shade of colour you see and you'll get the code for the colour. Search the code in the colour guide you've read above and what you get is the colour that has been identified. You can save yourself from painstakingly telling colours apart with your naked eye.

Pantone Capsure comes in Bluetooth and non Bluetooth versions.

You can visit Pantone's website to know more. To buy the products, you can contact Superlink, which is based in Singapore.

Digital Cutting machine for smooth edge finishing by JingWei CAD/CAM

Part 1: Entering the 24th Malaysia Sign and LED Exhibition
Part 2: Hapond Booth for Digital Cutter and UV Dried Plotter
Part 3: Epson SureColor printers and Contex scanners

Was at 25th Malaysia International Sign and LED Exhibition at PWTC, after visiting a few booths I spotted a machine busy cutting away cardboards. The machine was equipped with laser guidance.

In everyday lives, we have got scissors and blades to cut cardboards. But for industrial and commercial applications, machines are used to give a smooth, uniform finishing to the products to make them presentable. Moreover, usage of machines cut costs (but only if you're mass producing).

Digital cutters are computer controlled. On top of that, their cutting tools are interchangable parts suitable for cutting papers, cardboard, gray board, acrylic board, composite materials and foam boards.

Let's see what digital cutters can do!







Smooth edges can be obtained. You can program the machine to cut for any shape you desire.






The machine is manufactured by JingWei Systemtechnik Ltd based in China. You can visit their website http://www.jingwei.com.cn/ and http://www.jweicut.com/ or call them at +86 574 87913525.

To buy the machine in Malaysia, you can contact their dealer Colorocean (M) Sdn Bhd by calling +603 6038 5880.

Epson SureColor printers and Contex scanners

Part 2: Hapond Booth for Digital Cutter and UV Dried Plotter

After viewing the exhibits at Hapond's booth, I turned to Epson's booth which was next to Hapond's. Epson was showing large format printers meant for industrial uses.


One of the products were Epson SureColor series inkjet printers. They are capable of printing papers up to 44 inches in width. By the way, you're looking at Epson SureColor T3070 in the photo above.


Contex SD3600 series scanners can be attached to the printer.

The printer and scanner you saw above are meant for architecture, engineering, town planning or any job that requires printing on large papers.

I had a chance to be introduced to Epson Stylus Photo R2000 and R3000 printers. These printers weren't among the exhibits, but I was told that Epson Stylus Photo printers are launched to cater the needs of professional photographers.

Wanna buy the printers? You can contact Epson Malaysia for more information, or get in touch with the dealer to find out more:

Hapond Booth for Digital Cutter and UV Dried Plotter

This is part of a series of my visit to Malaysia Sign and LED Expo 2013.

Part 1: Entering the 24th Malaysia International Sign and LED Exhibition

The booth belonging to Hapond is one of the first booths to be noticed upon entering the exhibition hall.

Hapond was showing two main products: digital cutters and plotters. Both machines are important for the print advertisement industry.

Digital cutters, as suggested by name, cuts a piece of material with instructions from a computer. They are also called digital plotters.



Most of them uses laser to guide the path of the cutting tool.



Digital cutters can be used to cut papers and cardboard, suitable for most needs.

Let's look at plotters by Hapond.



Plotters are named as such because early models hold a pen to draw lines on papers (hence the name 'plot'), though they are now regarded as large format printers.





This model of plotter uses non-solvent based inks and comes with ultraviolent (UV) lamps to dry the inks. Printed materials can be dried immediately using this method.

Plotters using solvent based inks are dried with exposure to air and takes a little time.

Hapond assembles large format printers locally. Solvent based plotters are also available. Get in touch with the company at:
