Sean Roberts, Manager, EFI Global Customer Experience Centres has described PVC-free Kavalan as a revolutionary game changer. The remarks come after Kavalan Sunlight Weldable Frontlit banner and Kavalan Spiderweb 300 Mesh banner were put through their paces at the EFI Customer Experience facility in Londonderry, New Hampshire.

Working jointly with CMYUK on the evaluation,  Sean praised the Kavalan materials for replicating the same look, feel, structural rigidity and weldability of PVC but with none of its eco malignance.

EFI has been an innovative market leader for over 30 years, which is why Sean and his team were eager to evaluate this green PVC-free replacement. “PVC-free friendly solutions are always interesting for all of our customers worldwide,”  he said.

Throughout testing, Kavalan delivered on ink adhesion, colour vibrancy and text definition. It also showed excellent material handling.

“Kavalan ticks all the boxes. I would have no reservation in recommending the Kavalan products on the VUTEk ‘R’ series or really any other VUTEk platform,” said Sean.   “Our customers have been looking for a PVC replacement for years. This is revolutionary, Kavalan really is a game-changer.”
