“With the costs of packaging and
transportation continuing to rise, we recognised a need to assist our customers
in managing budgets and launched our Foldable Perlux® Digital 140 and 180 screens
last year to provide cinema operators and indeed installers with a more
cost-effective digital projection screen solution. Adding Perlux® Digital 220
to our foldable range means that we have our highest gain white screen
available in a format that will help dramatically lower packing and
transportation costs compared to traditional screen distribution. Aligned to the cost savings, these screens,
which ship inside a box are much more easily manoeuvrable into the auditorium
making the installation process potentially less awkward and expensive,” says
Andrew Robinson, Managing Director of Harkness Screens.
Manufactured
in the USA, Foldable Perlux® Digital screens typically realise packaging cost
savings of 66% and transportation savings of 20% against standard delivery
methods. Foldable Perlux® Digital screens
can be shipped by standard US carriers on overnight despatch, significantly
reducing delivery times.
When
installed using Harkness Screens prescribed installation techniques, Foldable
Perlux® Digital screens provide a guaranteed crease-free, seamless projection
surface and are currently the only foldable gain screens available in the world.
Harkness’
Perlux® Digital brand (foldable and rolled) gain screens (Perlux® Digital 140,
Perlux® 180 and Perlux® 220) include both 2D and 3D (non-polarised light) screen
surfaces for any size theatre with foldable screens available up to (23m/75ft x
12m/39ft in size). Harkness’ Perlux® Digital screens are considered by
leading cinema exhibitors and special venue operators worldwide to be the
premier gain projection surface.
