Focus on Wide-Format Printing Inktec Europe
Driving growth with smarter innovation Demand in the wide-format digital printing sector is being driven by high-impact applications across signage, décor and customised graphics, alongside advances in UV-curable ink technologies. The focus being on durability, versatility and sustainability.
Against this backdrop, InkTec Europe is addressing these evolving production needs with its JETRIX LXa6 and LXa7 UV fl atbed printers. Designed for both rigid and fl exible substrates, these systems offer optional roll-to-roll capability, allowing print providers to expand into multiple markets with a single investment. From outdoor signage and retail displays to promotional products, the ability to handle diverse media refl ects the industry’s shift towards short-run, customised output.

Crucially, InkTec’s new EX3 GUI also represents a signifi cant step forward in usability. By simplifying complex workfl ows and enhancing operator control, it aligns with wider industry trends towards automation and smarter production environments. This ensures JETRIX users can maximise throughput while maintaining exceptional output quality.
Julian Mennell, national hardware sales manager at InkTec Europe said: “Wide-format print providers are under increasing pressure to deliver more. This includes pressures for more applications, faster turnarounds, and obviously consistently high quality. And all of this is often within ever tighter margins.
“With the JETRIX LXa6 and LXa7, we’ve focused on giving customers true production fl exibility, from rigid to roll media, all backed by the power of the new EX3 GUI. Completely centred around simplifying workfl ows while unlocking the full creative and commercial potential of UV fl atbed printing.”
