The new series incorporates three roll-fed machines under the Atom brand: the 610mm-wide Atom 24, 1.2m-wide Atom 44 and 1.6m-wide Atom 64.

Launched at Fespa, the water-based outdoor durable printers feature Epson MicroPiezo TFP printheads. According to IGS, the machines will offer copy shops and small printers an alternative to solvent-based machines when producing outdoor durable graphics.

Kirsty Reader, general manager of Granthams, said: "Until now this hasn’t been practical because of the odours and hazardous chemicals inherent in most solvent-based printing systems.

"The Elements Atom 24 and Atom 44 printers, combined with H2O inks, matched Krypton Eco-Media and specially configured Chromium RIP, result in a neat, clean and green system."
