swissQprint releases two new flatbeds for small to medium production volumes

swissQprint has introduced two new flatbed models, which it says are tailored to users with medium and small production volumes. Topi 5 and Oryx 5 are new in the Generation 5 line-up, launched at the start of 2025.

The Topi 5 is a 3.2 m x 2 m flatbed printer capable of producing up to 126 sqm/h. Oryx 5 is its 2.5 m wide counterpart, with an output of up to 114 sqm/h, 26 per cent more than the Oryx 4 predecessor model. Both machines offer versatility, including the option of a roll-to-roll module. For companies with higher-volume needs, the Swiss manufacturer offers the Impala, Nyala, and Kudu flatbed models with outputs up to 341 sqm/h.

“With the new, harmonised overall range, we have a tailor-made solution for every size of business, with Topi and Oryx being aimed at users with high quality standards and small to medium print volumes,” says Carmen Eicher, Chief of Sales and Marketing Officer at swissQprint.

“Aside from their lower productivity and price points, Topi and Oryx are identical to the other 5th generation models and offer a whole range of competitive advantages,” explains Carmen Eicher. All Gen5 machines feature ten freely configurable colour channels for maximum versatility. Precision and print quality are also high, with a maximum resolution of 1350 dpi. swissQprint has built the flatbed Generation 5 on a new foundation, with features such as state-of-the-art linear drives that deliver precision and speed.

All swissQprint flatbed printers have a range of add-on options. These allow users to build their printer modularly according to needs or expand it later, with the roll-to-roll and dual roll options, an oversize board option for rigid media up to 4 metres long, or a collector paper option that eliminates clean-up work for operators who regularly do full-bleed printing. Additionally, swissQprint offers ink sets with different output purposes. Colour channels can be retrofitted or converted in the field.

With an average working life of over a decade, the swissQprint machines are supported by the company with a 36-month factory warranty; on every model, in every configuration.

Australian swissQprint distributor Pozitive Signs & Graphics Supplies has confirmed local availability of the new flatbeds, as well as all the Generation-5 machines. Pozitive Managing Director, Phil Trumble says, “We’re excited to introduce these new models to the Australian market and we anticipate strong interest in them from forward-thinking print businesses.”
