Zünd and Canon gear up for annual open house

Zünd UK and its OEM partner Canon are gearing up for their annual autumn open house, which will be held at the former's newly refurbished demo suite in St Albans from 24-25 September.

Zünd UK will demonstrate its S3 and G3 modular digital cutters at the event, alongside the latest versions of its PackZ design software and Prepare-it workflow.

Canon, which sells Zünd's S3 and G3 cutters under its Océ ProCut brand, will show its Océ ColorWave 650 poster printer and Océ Arizona UV flatbed printer at the two-day event.

The S3 is Zünd's compact cutting table, which features automated material handling for substrates up to 25mm thick, while the G3 features automated cutting and trimming on substrates up to 50mm thick.

Both devices feature a modular design, with a wide variety of options for bed size, material handling and tools.

The Océ ColorWave 650 is a 1,067mm-wide poster and POS printer with capacity for up to six media rolls and the ability to print up to 155 A1 prints per hour.

The Océ Arizona is a flatbed UV printer with a maximum print area of 2,500x3,050mm and a maximum print speed of 155sqm/hr.

Zünd UK sales director Peter Giddings said: "The Océ Arizona gives print houses the opportunity to explore their imagination in terms of applications and materials, making Zünd G3 and S3 cutting systems a perfect fit - they bring that imagination to life with finished products.

"The two-day open house with Canon will be a chance to see the equipment in action but also to see applications up close, ask experts questions and to catch up with others in the industry."
