New Line of UV Printers Combine Production Speed, Quality and Versatility Without Compromise
EFI has introduced two new members of its award-winning VUTEk® family of industry-leading superwide format UV printers, a 3.2-meter hybrid VUTEk GS3200 with eye-popping image quality and incredible speeds up to 2400 square feet (223 square meters) per hour, and a 5-meter roll-to-roll VUTEk GS5000r, uniquely combining enhanced Point-of-Purchase (POP) quality capability with stunning billboard production speeds up to 3100 square feet (288 square meters) per hour.
Chuck Dourlet, vice president of marketing EFI VUTEk: “The GS3200 revolutionizes superwide format printing with superior photorealistic image quality at speeds previously unattainable from a superwide UV digital printer. The GS5000r redefines the 5-meter roll-to-roll segment, providing exceptional POP-quality graphics and billboard speed, without compromise. These new VUTEk GS family printers extend the range of applications that can be produced with superwide format and enable our customers to be more competitive as they further differentiate themselves. In this economic landscape, businesses are looking for new opportunities, and EFI continues to provide the tools that help our customers profitably expand into new premium-margin markets that will grow their businesses.”
EFI’s VUTEk GS3200
The GS3200 is ideal for beautiful fine art replication, detailed photography, and stunning high-definition POP displays, as well as traditional 3.2 meter banner and signage applications. Reach higher profit margins and set new quality standards with the GS3200.
The GS3200 hybrid UV printer exemplifies flexible, versatile production with its unmatched ability to transition from rigid to roll-to-roll under one minute, and its capacity to print on a broad range of substrates. It delivers true, in-line, three-layer white-printing capability, allowing access to a whole new range of creative, high-value applications. This multifaceted printer is the perfect replacement for a wide range of wide-format and superwide printers in one shop, and has a much smaller footprint. With easy switching from 8-color (plus white) to Fast-5 color mode, increased media handling capabilities, and Dual Resolution (600 or 1000 dpi selectable), the GS3200 is perfect for long runs or short runs in high quality and high speeds, offering the highest return on investment (ROI) in the industry.
EFI’s VUTEk GS5000
The GS5000r was specifically designed for mid- to high-volume print service providers and commercial printers who want to grow their businesses and differentiate themselves from the competition by extending their range of applications and capabilities. This is the only 5-meter printer that not only meets the speed requirements to produce high-quality billboards, building wraps and large banners, but also the precision output necessary for POP, exhibition and display graphics. Dual Resolution modes, eight-color to Fast-4™ switchable, and media handling that can accommodate a single 5-meter roll or 3-up 60-inch (153.5 cm) rolls are some of the features that extend the versatility of the GS5000r beyond that of typical 5-meter printers. The comprehensive abilities of the GS5000r go beyond the printer itself. The printer is optimized by EFI’s industry-leading solutions that include seventh-generation VUTEk UV inks that adhere to a wide range of flexible substrates, including Tyvek, polybanner and textiles, EFI’s powerful Fiery® XF RIP and the Enhanced Service Program (ESP), EFI’s industry-leading warranty and service plan.
EFI Vutek will exhibit at FESPA, Hall 1-A20, May 12-14th in Amsterdam
