The new Vutek LED/UV, which prints at 223-297sqm/hr,  boasts of pin and cure technology in 3.2m high-speed roll-to-roll printer. It is positioned as a replacement of older solvent printers for the high-volume production of vehicle wraps, lorry sides, banners, posters and more.   

The press has six colours plus white ink with a multi-layer print capability for the production of perfect day/night backlit graphics.

EFI has developed a new ink with 3M, the Superflex HSr ink, which features high stretch and significantly better heat resistance for vehicle graphics.

EFI’s stall at Fespa 2015, has at display their most popular EFI H1625 LED printer along with the Vutek GS3250LX Pro, five meter Vutek GS5500lxr Pro, 3.2m, the hybrid Vutek HS100 Pro and the two metre hybrid Vutek H2000 Pro range of printers.

In another major innovation, EFI is also showcasing the Vutek GO technology, a remote monitoring application for the Vutek HS Pro series that allows customers to monitor print queue in real time (what job is printing, how long left in the print run, what job is next) along with real time status of ink levels, lamp settings and lamp life and several other features like push notification in case of printer errors.
