The show showcases a range of EFI production LED Inkjet, dye sublimation inkjet and Fiery digital frontend (DFE) options. These technologies are unique and have been awarded with numerous awards.
PRINTING United booth #C8107 will feature the new EFI VUTEk FabriVU Plus series, which includes VUTEk FabriVU 3340i+ soft signage printer with inline fixation EFI. This printer is the next generation of high-end dye sublimation efficiency and opportunities.
Designed for high-end direct-to-fabric or transfer paper production with resolutions up to 2,400 dots per inch (dpi) and three-level grayscale printing with 7pL, 12pL and 18pL drop sizes, the FabriVU Plus series achieves remarkable quality in dye-sub printing – with better saturation and more density for soft signage and flag printing – thanks to new electronics as well as eight high-performance printheads in a new CMYK x 2 configuration.
The new soft signage printer is one of many high-end EFI display graphics inkjet products at the show.
• The 3.2-meter wide EFI Pro 30h hybrid roll/flatbed LED printer in EFI’s booth stands out as the ideal solution for businesses targeting production sign and display graphics as a growth opportunity. It can print at resolutions of up to 1,200 DPI and four colors, plus two channels of white, at speeds up from 230 square metres per hour.
• The 3.5-meter wide EFI VUTEk Q3r LED inkjet printer on display – the fastest superwide-format roll-to-roll solution in its class – is part of a VUTEk Q series that also includes a 5.2-meter wide Q5r model. A new inline UltraClear Coat option for the VUTEk Q3r, Q5r and other EFI roll-to-roll LED inkjet printers offers superior protection for outdoor graphics and high-quality gloss or matte spot enhancement in premium POP work – capabilities that earned UltraClear Coat the 2022 PRINTING United Alliance Pinnacle Award for UV digital inks.
