Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII)
provides fuel for customers’ signage and graphics success by
offering the industry’s most-complete portfolio of inkjet and
production workflow technologies. The EFI™ exhibit at the ISA
International Sign Expo includes one of the industry’s broadest
offerings of innovative solutions for signs, display graphics,
textiles and more designed to offer new business and profit
opportunities for attendees.
Advanced inkjet technologies in booth #5000 at the Orange County
Convention Center includes EFI® VUTEk® LED roll-to-roll, VUTEk
FabriVU® soft signage and EFI hybrid and flatbed LED printers, all
driven by the latest EFI Fiery® proServer digital front ends (DFEs)
for the ultimate in productivity, job control and color
management.
EFI and two of its partners, Ricoh® U.S.A., Inc. (booth #600)
and Nazdar® SourceOne® (booth #5400) are exhibiting EFI’s newest
wide-format printer, a Pro 24f dedicated LED flatbed model that
comes with white ink standard and includes a built-in Fiery
proServer Core DFE. The flatbed printer has a true 4x8-foot
architecture and offers precision imaging, fine detail and
outstanding image quality. It is a highly strategic choice for
signage, photographic backlit displays, art reproductions, membrane
switches, graphic overlays, lenticular prints and other specialty
applications up to 2 inches thick.
International Sign Expo attendees can also take a virtual
reality tour at the EFI booth of the VUTEk HS125 Pro high-speed
hybrid printer and EFI’s breakthrough Nozomi C18000 press for
ultra-high-speed direct-to-corrugated LED inkjet corrugated display
and packaging production. Plus, EFI’s exhibit includes a complete
portfolio of workflow software that helps businesses drive a
stronger competitive advantage including the EFI Midmarket Print
Suite and the new EFI MarketDirect customer engagement and
cross-media communications platform.
A product portfolio geared toward customer growth and
efficiencyThe complete range of products gives users a
distinct competitive advantage as customers look to diversify their
offerings, add work in hot new markets, and develop highly
streamlined, integrated workflows to increase throughput and drive
down production costs. EFI customer D’Andrea Visual Communications
(DVC), partnered with EFI to do just that and has reaped the
benefits in its comprehensive retail point-of-purchase,
experiential, exhibit and home décor production operations.
The Southern California company operates numerous VUTEk
superwide-format printers and manages them all using Fiery
proServer DFEs. DVC directs its overall business and production
management workflow using an EFI Midmarket Print Suite with a full
range of component solutions for dynamic scheduling, web-to-print,
multi-channel marketing, planning, shipping and more.
Just recently, DVC boosted its fabric soft signage offerings
with the installation of a 3.4-meter EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340 aqueous
dispersed dye-sublimation printer. The printer delivers
high-quality images at true production level speeds while keeping
running costs low and profit opportunities high. Printing either
direct-to-fabric or on transfer paper using the same inkset, the
printer produces dazzling displays, high-density backlit signage
and more with ultra-high resolution four color printing.
“About 40% of our business is fabric-based, and that percentage
is likely to climb with this new printer,” according to DVC
Co-owner David Schiller. “Over the years, we have had a number of
EFI VUTEk printers – including purchasing six printers in one order
about five years ago – and have found working with EFI to be a
terrific experience. Their service and support are exceptional, and
they are like family to us.”
The complete EFI Ecosystem for signage and
graphicsMuch like the advanced, fully integrated
production operation DVC has in superwide-format printing, EFI’s
exhibit at the International Sign Expo highlights how the EFI
Ecosystem of products can efficiently and effectively automate and
drive productivity throughout a signage and graphics business –
from online job submission and production/business management to
fast Fiery job processing, high-end output and more.
Another one of the inkjet production products on display, the
EFI Pro 16h LED wide-format printer, sets a new standard for
entry-level hybrid production. This extremely affordable 65-inch
wide Fiery Driven™ printer includes white ink and delivers a low
total cost of ownership and superior image quality for a broad
range of applications. The award-winning printer has faster speeds
than other EFI entry-level hybrid products, with some print modes
offering up to a 30% higher throughput.
EFI also is showcasing its next-generation line of VUTEk
roll-to-roll printers with the 3.5-meter EFI VUTEk 3r LED printer
that offers the highest speeds and resolution in its class and
provides superior quality using EFI UltraDrop™ Technology
7-picoliter print heads. The printer, which is also available in a
5-meter wide model, won a 2018 Wide-Format & Signage magazine
Top Products Award in part for its integrated production workflow
offerings, which allow print professionals to do more work in less
time. Users can choose a complete set of value-added options,
including an inline finishing system for all-in-one printing,
x-cutting, slitting and collecting, and white and light colors.
Integrated workflow in the ‘Journey of a Job’
for graphics productionAnother product at the
tradeshow, version 6 of the EFI Midmarket Print Suite, features EFI
Pace™ as its core MIS/ERP software and drives end-to-end
efficiencies. The Suite’s Superwide Format component database
streamlines estimating, planning and management in dedicated
signage and graphics production printing environments. Plus, the
Suite includes a new, award-winning workbench tool and deeper
integration with imposition and fulfillment components.
EFI’s new customer communication platform software, MarketDirect
Cross Media, eliminates many of the challenges in developing,
distributing and tracking customer communications for loyalty
programs, offers, newsletters, surveys and more. EFI’s
award-winning Digital StoreFront® Web-to-Print eCommerce software,
which provides an industry-leading print buyer experience designed
to win new business, acquire new customers and grow existing
businesses, also is on display at the show.
“Whether our customers are cutting their energy costs with our
LED printers; expanding into reusable, high-end soft signage with
VUTEk FabriVU printers; using Fiery technologies to achieve
accurate, repeatable color across their printer fleets; or creating
highly automated, seamless workflows to handle everything from
order entry to final shipping and fulfillment, they are taking
control of their success with the advanced innovations available
across our portfolio,” said Frank Mallozzi, EFI’s senior vice
president of worldwide sales and marketing. “Our exhibit at the
International Sign Expo is a unique example of what our ecosystem
approach can do truly transform customers’ signage and graphics
operations.”
