T22 Pty Ltd: Revolutionizing Wide-Format Printing with Innovation and Speed
Melbourne-based T22 Pty Ltd, a leader in high-impact wide-format printing, has established itself as a trusted partner for major clients in events, retail, and commercial branding across Australia. Founded over 30 years ago as Signex Displays, the company evolved into the Signex Group after merging with Prologica Digital Print. In 2022, John Roberts, then General Manager, acquired the business with the support of existing staff and key customers, rebranding it as T22. This marked the beginning of a bold new chapter characterized by innovation, speed, and exceptional customer service.
T22 specializes in producing a diverse range of applications, from event signage for golf tournaments and marathons to corporate campaigns and custom fridge wraps. The company operates from a single, dynamic production floor equipped with cutting-edge technology, including the Canon Colorado 1650, Arizona 2280 XT, and a Zund G3 cutting table. These tools enable T22 to handle complex projects with precision and efficiency.
The Challenge: Meeting High Demand with Aging Technology
As T22’s client base grew, so did the demand for premium print finishes and faster turnaround times. The company’s aging solvent printers struggled to keep up, particularly during high-pressure projects like the PGA Tour. The need for faster, more reliable technology became evident, prompting T22 to seek a solution that could deliver exceptional quality without compromising on speed.
The Solution: A Technology Transformation with Canon Production Printing
T22 partnered with Canon Production Printing to overhaul its printing capabilities. The Canon Colorado 1650 was chosen for its high-speed, roll-to-roll production and FLXfinish+ capability, which allows for both matt and gloss finishes in a single pass. Additionally, the Arizona 2280 XT flatbed printer was incorporated for its versatility in handling rigid media, while the Zund G3 cutting system streamlined finishing processes with precision automation.
This advanced setup provided T22 with unparalleled flexibility, enabling the company to produce a wide range of products within a single facility. From POS signage and floor graphics to glass splashbacks and wall decals, T22 could now meet the diverse needs of its clients with ease. The technology also proved invaluable for time-critical projects, such as producing vinyl graphics for golf tournaments and marathons.
The Result: Faster Turnaround Times and Enhanced Efficiency
The integration of Canon’s technology has revolutionized T22’s operations, significantly improving turnaround times and production efficiency. This was particularly evident during a major PGA event, where T22 was tasked with producing all the vinyl graphics for tee signs and wayfinding within just a few days. The Canon Colorado 1650’s speed and reliability ensured that T22 could meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
John Roberts, Managing Director of T22, highlights the transformative impact of the Canon Colorado:
“Previously, we were limited by older printers that required high maintenance and could barely keep up with demand. With the Colorado, we’re now printing exceptional quality jobs — in both matt and gloss — faster than ever. That speed and reliability are absolutely critical when working on major events like the PGA or the Melbourne Marathon. We know we can deliver every time, even under pressure. And that confidence has helped us grow stronger relationships with our clients.”
A Strong Partnership with Canon Production Printing
Canon Production Printing has been more than just a supplier for T22 — it has been a committed partner in the company’s journey toward innovation and growth. From initial consultation and training to responsive service and ongoing support, Canon has played a pivotal role in enabling T22 to push boundaries and expand its offerings.
Steven Badger, Head of Sales & Professional Services at Canon Production Printing, commends T22’s dedication to quality and customer satisfaction:
“T22 is a fantastic example of a business that combines deep industry experience with the right technology to truly deliver for its customers. What impresses me about John and his team is their relentless focus on quality and meeting deadlines. They’re delivering signage at the highest level for nationally broadcast events — and Canon is proud to play a part in helping them scale their success. It’s a partnership built on trust, capability, and shared ambition.”
Conclusion: A Future of Innovation and Excellence
T22’s collaboration with Canon Production Printing has positioned the company as a leader in the wide-format printing industry. By embracing innovative technology, T22 has not only enhanced its production capabilities but also strengthened its reputation for delivering exceptional results under tight deadlines. This commitment to innovation and customer service ensures that T22 is well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of its clients, solidifying its place as a trusted partner in the Australian printing landscape.
