EFI exhibits two new printers at Printing UNITED

EFI exhibited its newest production-level digital inkjet printers, applications, and samples, which were produced from its broad portfolio of sign and display graphics, packaging, and textile printers, at the PRINTING United Expo in Las Vegas last week.

“We’re happy to be back at the PRINTING United Expo again this year, the premier printing show in the United States,” said Frank Pennisi, EFI’s CEO. “This year, we’re announcing the debut of two brand-new printers alongside several innovations that impressed crowds at drupa and other events earlier this summer. This show enables us to reconnect face-to-face with customers and partners and reaffirm our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We’re here to deliver innovation that sharpens our customers’ competitive edge, enabling them to increase productivity, drive efficiencies into their processes, lower costs, and grow profit margins.”
Visitors to EFI’s booths saw live demonstrations of its latest innovations for sign and display graphics producers and learned how they could turn these new, disruptive capabilities into opportunities. Two brand-new printers were on display in EFI’s booth:

• The 3.2-meter EFI VUTEk® M3h hybrid flatbed/roll-fed LED printer is designed for print providers looking to make a move to higher-volume, production-level printing to reduce costs, increase margins, turn jobs faster, and differentiate their offerings with new substrates and applications at a lower price.

• The 3.5-meter EFI VUTEk X3r roll-to-roll LED printer, engineered for high-volume production of a wide range of indoor and outdoor sign and display applications, combines carefully integrated automation, software, and hardware to support full-shift unattended printing, deliver a complete print-to-finished-graphic workflow system, and take image quality at production-level speeds to a new level.

• EFI also showcased the VUTEk Q3h XP printer. This high-speed hybrid flatbed/roll-fed LED printer offers exceptional imaging quality, flexible production-level throughput, and advanced media handling and automation options. It is a perfect solution for businesses addressing current labour challenges and cost-reduction initiatives.

“Visitors to our booth saw examples of innovative and unique applications made possible by our industry-leading technologies for the packaging, sign and display, and textile markets,” said Ken Hanulec, EFI vice president of worldwide marketing. “This includes samples produced by EFI Nozomi single-pass digital inkjet and EFI VUTEk printers, which deliver super-high speeds and high-quality imaging for the packaging and sign and display markets. We had something on display to inspire everyone.”

Several of EFI’s US partners also exhibited EFI Wide Format printers, including the new EFI Pro 16h+ hybrid LED printer and EFI Pro 30f+ flatbed LED printer. These printers deliver high-quality imaging at production-level speeds and even more printing capabilities—all with a low total cost of ownership (TCO). The EFI Pro+ printers, featuring new high-performance EFI ProGraphics+ Series LED-curable inks, raise the bar for entry-level, wide-format production-level printing.
