EFI demonstrated the EFI VUTEk® M3h hybrid, EFI Pro 30f+ flatbed, EFI VUTEk Q3h XP hybrid, and EFI VUTEk X3r roll-to-roll LED printers designed to help print producers drive business growth with high-margin capabilities, new opportunities, and greater profitability. The 3.2 metre wide EFI VUTEk M3h hybrid flatbed/roll-fed LED printer is designed for print providers looking to make the move to higher-volume, production-level printing to reduce costs, take on more jobs, and turn them faster.
The versatile VUTEk M3h hybrid printer handles board, sheet, or rolled media up to 5.08cm thick, giving print businesses the opportunity to explore new materials and/or applications and differentiate their offering without compromising on print quality or productivity. Four colours plus white, multilayer printing up to five layers in a single pass, and its optional clear ink give print providers the ability to produce higher-value applications, helping them to gain new customers, increase volume from existing ones, and improve profitability.
Another highlight at EFI’s FESPA Berlin booth was the new EFI Pro 30f+ flatbed LED printer, which builds on the legacy of its predecessor by offering even greater versatility and efficiency. This true flatbed printer features a large 3.05 x 2.04 metre printable area with bleed printing and can handle media up to 10cm thick. The Pro 30f+ printer is equipped with EFI’s white ink, up to five-layer printing in a single pass and new high-performance ProGraphics+™ Series UV LED inks. Optional clear ink offers dual properties, enhancing an image to add extra pop to colours or special effects to graphics, as well as providing protective qualities. The result is more capabilities to print a broader range of applications at a lower cost per print for users.
EFI also demonstrated the high-speed VUTEk Q3h XP hybrid and VUTEk X3r roll-to-roll LED printers at FESPA. The VUTEk Q3h XP printer offers high-quality imaging, versatile production-level printing, and advanced media handling and automation options. The 3.5 metre VUTEk X3r printer, engineered for the high-volume production of indoor and outdoor applications, features integrated automation, software, and hardware to support full-shift unattended printing, deliver a complete print-to-finished-graphic workflow system, and take image quality at production-level speeds to a new level.
In addition to exploring EFI’s latest innovations on the show floor, visitors could gain valuable insights at the Smarthub speaker stage, where Kerry Sanders, EFI VP of Market Development, presented ‘The Power of Personalisation: Transforming Corrugated Packaging with Right-Sized, On-Demand Digital Printing’. The session explored how digital technology is enabling a new era of personalised, sustainable, and right-sized packaging — unlocking new opportunities for brand engagement and operational efficiency.
