EFI is using Fespa Global to introduce the Vutek Q3h XP 3.3m-wide flatbed/roll-fed LED printer, plus the next generation 3.2m EFI Pro 33r roll-to-roll LED printer.
The Vutek Q3h XP runs at up to 905m2/hr and features board/sheet and roll-to-roll media handling and high-speed automation options. It is available with four (CMYK) or six (CMYK, lc, lk) colours and optional white and clear inks.
The EFI Pro 33r is based on the Pro 32r+ platform, with notable enhancements to overall printer performance - it has a top print speed of 260m2/hr and offers up to 35% speed increase in POP mode.
Using new 5 pL Ricoh Gen-6 printheads, the printer’s other standard features include an integrated mesh kit for printing on porous substrates, a wrinkle analyser to help avoid printhead strikes, built-in backlit proofing lights, and a built-in Fiery DFE. Options include white and clear (UltraClear Coat) inks, Y-slitters, automatic blockout and backlit printing.
EFI also announced a new Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool, developed by the Clear Agency, for Nozomi digital print users, prospective customers, retailers and brands to calculate the environmental impact of their print jobs, and compare against the footprint of other printing technologies.
