CDM Plastics brings print in-house with Dlican and Kartech

Sep 14, 2026 | Installation News

CDM Plastics has installed a Dlican DLI-2513 UV flatbed printer and a Kartech KT1625 digital cutting table from China Print Supplies (CPS).

The Redditch-based acrylic fabricator produces displays, signage and graphics for major UK retail brands, and until this year outsourced most of its printing work to subcontractors.

Running both processes in-house gives the business control of its deadlines and keeps the print margin inside the company.

Carl Way, production director at CDM Plastics, said: “We had a smaller printer which we used for roll work and prototyping, and then we subcontracted everything else.

“Thanks to the new machines from CPS, we have taken control of the process, as well as benefiting from additional margin.”

The Dlican prints on rigid sheet up to 2.5×1.3m and was specified with additional print heads, which lifts output speeds on longer runs, which was exactly what the company was looking for.

Mr Way added: “We looked at cutting machines from a few other manufacturers, but the combination of the price and quality of the Kartech was really hard to beat.

“An added benefit is that it works seamlessly with the Dlican, creating a fast, high-quality workflow.”
