swissQprint launches a new flatbed generation
swissQprint is taking its flatbed range to a new level of productivity, precision and application diversity based on a totally reworked platform. The new models are 23% faster than their predecessors, and all come with 10 freely configurable colour channels.
“O
ur 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,” says Carmen Eicher, chief sales and
marketing officer at swissQprint. Over 100 satisfied customers have already experienced the platform’s performance, profitability and reliability. “With the new range and the performance spread between the respective models, we are appealing to an even broader customer base,” adds Ms Eicher.
23% more output
Kudu along with the Nyala 5 and the Impala 5 form a line-up that is 23% faster than the previous generation, offering a top speed of 341m sq/hr. Ms Eicher points out: “We have always pursued a combination of performance with high output quality and the new printers are exemplary of that.” With efficiency-enhancing features also in the mix, users benefit from short throughput times and consistent high quality.
New platform
The Generation 5 flatbeds are based on a completely reworked machine concept, electronics and software included. An essential element here is the new printer base. Its extreme robustness establishes the foundation for benchmark precision. Moreover, the printers come equipped with linear motors that help to make printing performance not only more precise still, but faster too.
• Tandem mode for non-stop printing
• Dual roll option for double the output with narrow rolls
• Tip Switch Vacuum for quick and easy vacuum control
• Edge holders for stress-free printing on corrugated board
High resolution and even greater versatility “With the latest print heads and a resolution of 1350 dpi, the new generation delivers outstanding print quality,” states Ms Eicher. These flatbed printers also offer limitless versatility with their ten freely 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.
