DuPont’s Cyrel FAST recognised for energy saving credentials D
uPont has announced that its Cyrel FAST platemaking system has been offi cially recognised for cutting energy use by 20% and has received the Certifi ed Energy Savings recognition. The certifi cation, awarded by independent body GreenCircle, confi rms that the machine’s process uses signifi cantly less energy than traditional solvent-based methods. The fi ndings are based on testing over a 96hr production cycle.
Unlike conventional systems, Cyrel FAST does not rely on chemical solvents. This removes the need for handling and disposing of hazardous materials, helping to reduce environmental impact while

also improving workplace safety. DuPont says the system is not only greener, but faster too. It can produce printing plates up to 75% quicker than older methods, while still delivering consistent, high-quality results.
The company also reports major environmental gains, including a reduction in harmful emissions by up to 99.8% and a 48% drop in overall climate impact
Roland DG launches new UV flatbed R
oland DG has launched a new UV fl atbed printer designed to simplify high-volume board production for sign and display businesses.
The EU2-1000MF enables direct to board printing, removing several traditional steps such as printing, laminating and mounting. The company says this helps reduce manual handling, improve consistency and speed up turnaround times.
Built for rigid media applications, including signage, retail displays and interior panels, the system is designed to support more predictable production workfl ows in busy print environments.
The new model also offers around 1.5x higher productivity than its predecessor, while maintaining the same price point. It can handle media up to 1,220×2,440mm and thicknesses of up to 95mm. Roland DG said the aim is to help print businesses increase output without adding complexity to existing operations, supporting a smoother transition to digital production.
The printer forms part of a wider ecosystem, including RIP software, inks and service support to provide an end-to-end production solution for rigid board work.

compared to solvent processes. With increasing pressure on the print industry to cut energy use and emissions, the certifi cation gives printers and brands added confi dence in adopting cleaner technologies without sacrifi cing performance.
Tucker Norton, vice president and general manager of printing and fi lms, said: “Cyrel FAST has redefi ned what sustainable, responsible platemaking looks like through its completely solventfree process.
“Not only does the system simplify operations, but by eliminating the need to handle, distil, and dispose of washout solvents, it also signifi cantly reduces environmental burden while providing a cleaner, safer working environment.”
Mimaki brings upgrade to DTF printer
M
imaki has launched an upgraded version of its TxF300-75 DTF printer.
Called the TxF300-75Plus, this new model brings an expanded white ink capacity, featuring four additional white ink cartridge slots.
It also comes with Mimaki’s UISS which automatically switches to the next available cartridge when one becomes empty. It also provides advanced monitoring and remote management capabilities such as PICT and Mimaki Remote Access (MRA). Available through UK distributor Hybrid Services, sales director Andy Gregory said: “The Mimaki TxF300-75 already provides industry-leading white opacity, a crucial factor in achieving vibrant DTF prints. The new TxF300-75Plus builds on this performance while making production simpler and enabling longer print runs.”
