Higher levels of productivity, opportunity and growth that fuel
customer success reflect the key advantages on display from
Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII) at this year’s FESPA
exhibition, May 8-12 in Hamburg, Germany. New products include the
EFI™ Reggiani ReNOIR FLEXY, an industrial textile printer making
its worldwide debut. In addition, EFI is presenting a pair of new
LED inkjet printers offering exceptional returns on investment, as
well as the latest version of the company’s Midmarket Print Suite,
based on the award-winning Pace™ MIS/ERP software, offering
advanced tools for superwide format production management.
The Reggiani ReNOIR FLEXY launching at FESPA 2017 is new
equipment that allows nearly any business to get into industrial
textile by offering the outstanding performance and results of
larger Reggiani printers. Customers can run the widest variety of
fabrics — from knitted to woven as well as low- and
high-stretchable and stretchable materials — with confidence using
the printer's brand new "Dynaplast" technology. The 1.8-meter
printer is available with eight printheads and has a production
speed of more than 400 square meters per hour with a resolution of
up to 2,400 dpi. It incorporates the latest digital technologies
for best-in-class performance, is easy to operate and has a low
maintenance cost, making it an ideal solution for production and
sampling alike.
The printer is the first EFI industrial textile printer to have
a new green housing reflecting Reggiani’s brand heritage as well as
the product line’s environmentally friendly production advantages,
such an ink recovery feature that dramatically reduces ink
consumption.
The new EFI Pro 16h wide-format hybrid roll/flatbed LED printer
on display sets the standards by which other entry-level hybrid
roll/flatbed LED production printers will be judged. This new Fiery
Driven™ printer is extremely affordable, includes white ink, and
its feature set assures lowest total cost of ownership, superior
image quality and a broad range of applications. This new printer
platform has faster speeds than other EFI entry-level hybrid
production platforms, with some print modes offering up to a 30%
higher throughput.
Best-in-class print resolution and speed in roll-to-roll
printingEFI is also showcasing its next generation of
VUTEk® roll-to-roll printers, with the new, industrial 3.2-meter
EFI VUTEk 3r roll-to-roll LED printer on exhibit at the show. This
printer has the highest resolution in its class, offering superior
quality using EFI UltraDrop™ Technology 7-picoliter print heads. It
also boasts the highest productivity in its category with speeds of
up to 345 square meters per hour.
Designed to be the industry’s most technically advanced LED
roll-to-roll production offerings, the new VUTEk roll-to-roll
printer line includes unique, integrated production workflow
benefits that allow print professionals to do more work in less
time. Users gain a competitive advantage in quality and throughput
thanks to the complete set of available value-added options,
including an inline finishing system for all-in-one printing,
x-cutting, slitting and collecting, and additional white and light
colors.
Another model in the new roll-to-roll printer line, the 5-meter
EFI VUTEk 5r LED printer, also boasts best-in-class print
resolution and productivity with throughput speeds up to 455 square
meters per hour. Béflex, a print service provider in Budapest,
Hungary, was the first in Europe to install the VUTEk 5r. Asked
what they think about the machine, László Bárán, CEO said:
“Currently, this is the most up-to-date printer on the market. It
prints significantly faster and with a better image quality than
our previous 5m wide printer while only needing half the ink and
power. EFI has established a real partnership with us. I honestly
believe we have a five-year technological advantage over others
with this equipment. That is a huge competitive advantage in the
European market.”
EFI customers now have the added benefit of the 3M™ MCS™
Warranty on their outdoor graphics and fleet and vehicle graphics
work printed on VUTEk 3r and 5r printers, along with EFI Quantum 3
and 5 roll-to-roll printers. The printers are now eligible for the
warranty using new co-branded EFI - 3M™ SuperRange XF series LED
inks along with 3M premium media and overlaminates.
EFI’s Midmarket Print Suite: end-to-end integration in
varied environmentsEFI is also showing the latest release
of its workflow productivity software at FESPA – version 5 of its
Midmarket Print Suite, which drives end-to-end efficiencies for
display, signage and graphics customers. Improvements include an
upgrade to the suite’s Superwide Format component database for
easier estimating, planning and management in dedicated signage and
graphics production printing environments, as well as a new
workbench tool and deeper integration with imposition and
fulfillment components.
