\u201cThe Vanguard is a fabulous, versatile and user-friendly machine \u2013 uncomplicated and the quality of print is excellent,\u201d <\/em>said Declan Kelly, Print Manager at Horizon Digital Print<\/strong>. \u201cIt has super-fast turnaround time, and the cost of the power consumption is predicted to be a 10th<\/sup> of the power our previous system, thanks to the LED functionality.
