Pozitive showcases new swissQprint Nyala 5 at PacPrint

Pozitive is showcasing the new swissQprint Nyala 5, for the first time in Australia. The Nyala 5 is part of swissQprint’s Generation 5 series, which also includes the Impala 5 and Kudu models. The new series introduces a redesigned platform that includes a new chassi, electronics, and software.

Phil Trumble, Managing Director of Pozitive says, "The Nyala generation five, series of printers from swissQprint, is built on the very successful kudu platform that was launched a couple of years ago. There's already five kudos in  production in the Australian market. Bringing what was the Nyala four and the Impala four onto this new platform means a completely new redesign of the entire chassi, so we've got much faster print speeds and even more stable base than what we had before."
