APRIL
The lead up to FESPA 2025 had companies flocking to reveal their new hardware in what was noted to be a bumper month of releases. Kicking off the month HP welcomed two new arrivals to its portfolio. The only all-in-one compact HP Latex printing solution, named the HP Latex R530, which is designed to help PSPs overcome the hurdles of rigid printing while taking advantage of new commercial opportunities.
The next released were the set of wide-format Latex
printers, the HP Latex 730 and Latex 830 series. The new machines are designed to deliver high-impact print quality, enhance productivity and costs for small and
medium-sized PSPs. Daniel Martinez, global head and general manager of HP Large Format Business, said: “It’s the key things that make a difference, from our new colour pipeline HP Pixel Control to the new output platen that enables PSPs to print from the leading edge, we’re bringing innovation in this new series to deliver unrivalled quality, enhanced production and sustainability.”
Agfa expanded its collection of Anapurna Ciervo
hardware with the introduction of the H2050 and the H2500. The more compact Ciervo machines feature advanced optional media feed guides for precise and reliable corrugated printing, making them ideal for packaging and point-of-sale applications. Roland DG’s UV flatbed printer, the
VersaObject LO-640/300, saw greater precision, speed and printing volume introduced to the direct-to-substrate market. The printer is able to create detailed graphics on media up to 242mm in height, as well as substrates such as plastic, leather, and wood. A new easy-to-use roll-to-roll printer was released by
Mimaki, with exclusive UK and Irish distributor Hybrid Services stocking the machine. The JVC200-160 uses eco-solvent inks and offers features to ensure reliable, productive operation and outstanding print quality. Arjen Evertse, director of sales and Mimaki Europe, said: “This new introduction provides customers with even more opportunities to easily expand their business with new print capabilities.” China Print Supplies introduced the ThunderJet UV printer to the UK market. The ThunderJet is designed for multi-layer printing on various substrates and comes with white ink and a varnish option. It is equipped with four Epson i3200 print heads and has a water-cooled print plate that dissipates LED heat and keeps media flat. Scott Clutton, one of the directors at CPS, said:
