EFI has confirmed immediate availability of its 3.2m Vutek TX3250r fabric printer.
Designed to meet the demands of the growing soft signage market, the new printer is a production-level solution that has evolved from the first EFI industrial inkjet textile system, the Vutek FabriVu, introduced in 2002.
Robbie Gordon, president of Indy Imaging of Indianapolis, an early adopter of the Vutek TX3250r, said: “What used to take us hours now takes minutes, and the quality that was not there at 300dpi with other printers, is abundantly there at 1080dpi on the new TX3250r. We can now print 10ft wide banners with no seams, opening up another market for larger sizes in flags and banners."
“The introduction of the TX3250r should help eliminate the soft signage cost barrier for our customers and enable them to capture the market for soft signage, and flags,” said Scott Schinlever, senior vice president and general manager of Inkjet Solutions at EFI.
The TX3250r enables printing on polyester, a non-PVC material that is considered more eco-friendly than vinyl. Final printed images produced on the TX3250r can be washed, dried, folded without leaving marks and reused. Throughput speed is up to 167m2/hr.
