EFI Unveils Latest Inkjet Products at Fespa Digital Europe
FOSTER CITY, Calif. — EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, reported that its presence at Fespa Digital Europe was even more successful than the company had hoped, and that the newest hybrid additions to EFI’s robust lineup of digital inkjet printers, the VUTEk GS2000 and QS3220, and the Rastek H650, were met with overwhelming interest and discussion from the show’s attendees.
“Outdoor advertising is big business in Europe — five of the top 10 biggest outdoor advertising spenders are European countries, and that leaves a huge opportunity for our inkjet businesses,” said Frank Mallozzi, senior vice president, worldwide sales and marketing. “The new Rastek and VUTEk systems that we announced at the show are perfectly suited for addressing these markets. EFI’s VUTEk systems offer high speeds and photorealistic quality for exceptional results, and our Rastek systems offer best-in-class image quality and incredible options that competing printers just can’t match. EFI inkjet solutions offer phenomenal returns on investment, and Fespa attendees were pleased with the range of options in wide and superwide-format printing that EFI provides.”
The GS2000 delivers incredible photorealistic quality and impressive output speeds, extending the application set of superwide printing beyond the traditional 2-meter applications of banners and signs into more detail-intensive applications such as stunning point-of-purchase (POP) displays on a wide range of rigid and flexible substrates. EFI VUTEk’s dual resolution capability enables true 600 dpi with 24-picoliter drops and true 1,000 dpi with 12-picoliter drops, and can print in eight colors plus two channels for white.
The VUTEk QS3220 superwide-format printer incorporates many major advancements from EFI’s popular QS3200 printer, including increased vacuum pressure and enhanced media handling for expanded media choices. Using EFI VUTEk’s innovative high hefinition print (HDP) technology, the VUTEk QS3220 prints eye-popping images up to 3.2 meters wide at 1,080 dpi, in six colors plus white, at speeds up to 900 square feet per hour.
The low-cost Rastek H650 prints color plus white in grayscale resolutions up to 600 dpi and in a binary resolution mode at 1,200 x 900 dpi. In its billboard mode, the H650 produces output at 600 x 300 dpi at 230 square feet per hour.
