swissQprint has introduced its new Generation 5 flatbed printers based off a totally reworked platform. The new models, Kudu, Nyala 5, and Impala 5, are 23% faster than their predecessors, appealing to a broader customer base, said Carmen Eicher, chief sales and marketing officer at swissQprint.

‘Our flatbed Generation 5 is based on the same robust platform as the successful high-end Kudu model, which has proven itself worldwide over the past two years,’ she added.

The new lineup offers a top speed of 341sqm/hr and a resolution of 1350dpi. This means users of the new generation will benefit from short throughput times and consistent high quality, stated Ms Eicher.

The new reworked machine concept, electronics and software included, is described as an ‘essential’ element in the new printer base. The company added that the printer is equipped with linear motors that help to make printing performance not only more precise, but faster too.

According to swissQprint these flatbed printers also offer ‘limitless’ versatility with ten configurable colour channels. In addition to light colours and white, there are spot colours such as neon or orange as well as effect varnish and primer to extend the range of applications. 

Ms Eicher concluded, ‘We have always pursued a combination of performance with high output quality and the new printers are exemplary of that.’
