EFI shows VUTEk GS5000r printing POP quality at billboard speeds

The VUTEk GS5000r offers exceptional quality and roll-to-roll speed that allow users to tap into premium-margin markets that demand point-of-purchase (POP) quality graphics. The printer produces high-impact graphics with its eight-color switchable to Fast 4 and dual resolution of true 600 or 1000 dpi capabilities for superior quality and billboard speed. It also offers flexible inks to increase the application range and to produce consistent images on an expanded range of substrates.

Its unmatched, quick-turn capability reduces inventory, increases customer satisfaction by eliminating lengthy lead times, and accommodates last-minute changes.

"We have been working with the new GS5000r for a few weeks now and we are amazed by the truly impressive print quality we can get from a five-meter printer," said Thomas Ellmer, director at Ellmer GmbH in Bad Salzuflen, Germany. "The new UV inks are, in comparison to UV inks offered by other vendors, a big step forward toward a more pleasant working environment. Our customers also appreciate the fact that prints delivered to them are nearly without any odor."

EFI's demonstrates proven quality and high productivity of VUTEk GS3200

With dozens of units installed already since its first launch at Fespa 2009, the VUTEk GS3200 flatbed and roll-to-roll hybrid UV printer from EFI delivers photorealistic quality and superwide speed, and delivers innovative applications that expand the reach of superwide into new industries. It extends capabilities by offering a wider range of applications for exhibition graphics, fine art, photographic reproduction and Point-of-Purchase displays.

The VUTEk GS3200 comes with 1000 dpi for high-precision quality and 12-picolitre droplet technology for all colours, including white. The printer also, offers advanced three-layer white ink capabilities for printing exceptional quality on a wider range of materials.

"Not being restricted to white material is a tremendous advantage (of the GS3200)," said Andy Williams, managing director of Andesign (Sutton Coldfield, UK). "The good opacity of the white is enhanced by the way it can be incorporated into the work-flow, making it a simple addition to the existing colours and enabling greater creativity in designs and how they can be implemented in a digitally printed format."
