The VUTEk QS3200 joins the VUTEk QS2000 in a new category of printers that combine EFI’s production and workflow management technologies with the market-leading digital print capabilities of its VUTEk superwide format printers.
Robert W. Raus, vice president of VUTEk marketing for EFI says the market for 3.2 metre, UV superwide printers is experiencing significant growth world-wide.
“The VUTEk QS3200 delivers the highest possible image quality without the traditional trade-off in productivity for point-of-purchase displays, signs and banners. It has the same combination of High Definition Print (HDP) technology and high production speeds found in the recently announced VUTEk QS2000 printer, making it the ideal choice for larger print shops with applications bigger than the recently announced VUTEk QS2000 can produce.”
The printer prints on both rigid and flexible substrates up to 3.2 metres wide and up to 5.08 cm thick. It features the ability to change between rigid and flexible substrates in less than one minute to produce output up to 84 square metres per hour, allowing users to meet demanding turn-around times while producing greater quantities of high quality product than before.
It has a print resolutions up to 1080 dpi, six-colour imaging and a special seventh white ink channel for new and creative applications, and the ability to print white ink in six different variations, including overprint, underprint, spot, underspot, fill and overspot.
The VUTEk QS printer family comes with the EFI Fiery XF production RIP or optional Colorburst RIP. EFI Fiery XF delivers high productivity and excellent colour management today and allows the integration of additional business processes in the future through the extensive and proven EFI portfolio of software workflow products.
The VUTEk QS3200 will be commercially available next month.
