SwissQprint is the recipient of two EDP Awards: one for the company’s 5th-generation Nyala flatbed printer and another for pyramid printing, a technique that creates images with amazing colour change effects.
Nyala 5 Flatbed Printer
In the ‘Large and Wide Format Printing’ award category, swissQprint’s flagship Nyala model emerged as ‘Best Flatbed/Hybrid 150-400sqm/h’. SwissQprint launched the fifth generation of the 3.2 × 2m flatbed printer in January of this year. It features a completely new mechanical foundation for even greater stability and precision, increased productivity (maximum 253sqm/h) and 10 colour channels for maximum versatility. The jury described the printer as unique in this speed class, not least because of the roll to roll option that enables it to handle roll material in addition to rigid media.
The Nyala model has been around since 2012, and swissQprint has continued developing it ever since. The EDP Awards jury also repeatedly honoured these advancements: now the Nyala has attained its fourth EDP Award.
Pyramid Printing – Colour Change Effects
Pyramid printing is the winner of the ‘Best Digital Embellishment Wide Format’ award. Pyramid printing creates an image with a fascinating dynamic effect through colours that change with the viewing angle. Pulling off this trick demands know-how and utmost printing accuracy. The jury emphasised, ‘Unlike lenticular effects, which require expensive substrates, pyramid printing can be applied to any flat sheet material. It represents a valuable addition for users of the various printer models offered by the brand.’
The jury of the prestigious EDP Awards honoured swissQprint products in an awards ceremony held at the FESPA Global Print Expo in Berlin.
