Xante has confirmed that the first UK shipment of its Excelagraphix 4200 printer will be in June but as yet there are no UK orders for the 42in machine, which is based on Memjet’s Waterfall printhead technology to deliver “screaming fast speeds at a price point that’s affordable for a fast ROI” and which was hailed by industry guru Frank Romano as “a glimpse of printing’s viable future” when launched at the SGIA show in the US last autumn.
At Fespa Digital, where the printer was on show, Xante chief operating officer Mark Swanzy said companies were showing an interest in licensing the technology and that Xante “is happy to go that route and is looking into all possibilities.”
