EFI premieres 'cool cure' technology

EFI (A1/A10) has used Fespa Digital to give European and worldwide launches to a raft of new digital wide-format kit, including the Vutek GS3250LX UV printer, which it claims is a "breakthrough in high-speed superwide inkjet printing".

The GS3250LX features "cool cure" technology which allows for a much lower UV cure temperature and the ability to handle a much broader substrate range.

The 3.2m machine prints direct to substrate up to a resolution of 1,000dpi and features white ink printing capabilities. In eight-colour plus white operation, the machine can output at 111m2/hour.

Scott Schinlever, senior vice-president and general manager of EFI Vutek and Rastek, said: "Not only does it expand what is possible in terms of substrates and applications, but it also delivers a significantly lower cost of ownership."
