“The combination of the new FlexFire head and new TrueVIS Ink delivers fine details and vibrant colours at a production speed of 10.6m2 per hour in high-quality mode on vinyl and up to 34.8m2 per hour on the banner in dual CMYK ink configuration. The optimised printing technology enables the VG to produce vibrant colour with low ink consumption and minimal electricity in comparison with alternative ink technologies. As it results in significant savings over the life of the product,” concluded Maeda.
