3M partners Ninehearts to boost print sector in Sri Lanka

3M Sri Lanka and leading graphic arts entity Ninehearts have entered into a partnership to offer Sri Lankan businesses customised printing solutions.

3M, recognised for its innovative print solutions and extensive product portfolio, will leverage Ninehearts’ expertise in the print service provider market to help keep businesses ahead through the use of unique HP large format digital printers and eco solutions.

As the authorised partner for HP large format printers in the country, Ninehearts engages local businesses and consumers in its ‘go green’ initiatives through the company’s utilisation of innovative water-based inks and durable prints.

3M and HP eco solutions to the print industry include backlit applications, vehicle wraps and wall graphics, enabling outstanding colour and image quality, higher productivity, reduced costs and above all, significant reduction in the impact on the environment.

Customers will also benefit through the 3M MCS warranty for their printing needs, ranging from three to five year warranty periods. 3M MCS warranty is widely recognised as the industry’s most comprehensive finished graphics warranty, covering fading, cracking, peeling and other aspects of graphic performance.

This system of matched 3M components comes with the science and weathering technology that assures the brand owner that their image, constructed with 3M graphic products, will perform as expected for the life of the graphic.

“We aim to guide the Sri Lankan print industry towards eco-friendly printing solutions and add value to this sector through our unique collaboration with Ninehearts,” stated Suren Rajanathan, Vice President – 3M Sri Lanka.
