The fully automated 6-color printer which uses UV inks, called the Jeti 3324 UV roll-to-roll (UVRTR) was launched at Ipex and the annual International Sign Expo in Orlando, USA in April.
The Jeti 3324 UVRTR comes in 300 or 600 dpi format options, maintaining production of a grand-format printer which company founder James Gandy claims is the fastest on the market.
The head carriage hosts 24 Spectra print heads, while ink designation is 4 heads per colour allowing for 6 colour combinations. The print speed is 60 sq meter/hr in best mode and 98 sq meter/hr in production mode with 300 dpi.
With the 600 dpi option print speeds will begin at 33 sq meter/hr in best mode and up to 60 sq meter/hr in production mode. The Jeti 3324 UVRTR is designed to print on media types such as frontlit, backlit, adhesive vinyl and virtually any rolled substrates.
The highly specialised Jeti printers are manufactured at Gandinnovations’ plant in Toronto, Canada.
Gandinnovations’ worldwide sales and service operation is based out of San Antonio, Texas, with satellite offices in Canada, Mexico, India, United Arab Emirates and Belgium, with distributors around the world. Since the debut of a 3.3 meter-wide model in November 2002, more than 400 Jeti printers have been sold worldwide at costs ranging from $175,000 to $400,000 per printer.
