Each of the LED-curing UV flatbed printers offers a variety of optional additional features
Swiss developer of digital large-format printers swissQprint used Fespa to present a new generation of flatbed models: Nyala 3, Impala 3 and Oryx 3, together with the high speed Nyala 3S and Impala 3S.
As with their predecessors, each of the LED-curing UV flatbed printers offers a variety of optional additional features, which now include a new extended roll-to-roll option introduced at the show. The Nyala 3S and Impala 3S are designed for high-volume operations such as POS, posters and banners, offering 370 and 317sqm/hr output respectively.
Adriano Gut, swissQprint product manager, commented, ‘Mechanical refinements make these new systems even more stable and precise than their predecessors. Among other things, we have completely redesigned the architecture of the print head carriage.’
A new control system contributes to increased user-friendliness, in control and regulation of the vacuum bed, for example.
The extended roll-to-roll option has a spreading roller which smooths material before it reaches the print bed, and has carbon brushes to dissipate static charge. In combination with the LED curing, the roll-to-roll option increases the variety of supported materials, including delicate and heat-sensitive media.
The generation 3 models will be available from August 2018 via the swissQprint distribution network.
The company is also celebrating shipping its 1000th unit – a Nyala-series UV printer that left the swissQprint factory in Kriessern on 11 May, bound for France. The Swiss company has delivered the thousand printers in around a decade.
