The swissQprint production team has celebrated a milestone at company headquarters in Switzerland: the thousandth Nyala machine, due to be finished and delivered in June.
The company launched the Nyala UV flatbed printer in May 2012. The 3.2-metre-wide flatbed printer has been a success story since its launch eleven years ago.
Total Supply distributes swissQprint solutions in New Zealand.
This printer enjoys a large following around the globe. In the European market, it has been the best-selling model in its category for eight consecutive years.
Due to its print bed dimensions and modularity, Nyala offers freedom in applications and formats that it can handle with up to 1350 dpi resolution.
swissQprint chief sales and marketing officer Carmen Eicher added, “Our customers also appreciate the high system availability and low energy consumption.”
The users can configure their printer according to present needs and then expand and change that configuration later.
swissQprint production manager Christof Lüchinger said, “Right from the start, practically every customer has ordered the roll-to-roll option and thus, so to speak, gets two printers in one.”
Other add-ons include the dual roll option, the board option for panels up to four metres long, the glass option and the Rob loading and unloading robot for unmanned shifts.
Nyala has nine freely configurable colour channels, so in addition to CMYK there is capacity for light colours, white, effect varnish, orange, neon and a primer.
Helpful features contribute to an efficient workflow: in tandem mode, Nyala processes larger print runs non-stop. Thanks to the registration pins and powerful vacuum, any format is quick to set up and print.
Every one of the current models has been certified according to ISO 20690:2018 for “top-in-class” energy efficiency. They consume an average of just 2.2 kWh, the same amount of electricity as an ordinary electric kettle.
