PrintEx: EFI shows off 
hybrid LED inkjet

EFI will exhibit the h3 hybrid LED inkjet printer, which it bills as its most advanced yet, on stand D7 at PrintEx.

The h-series, which is available in two models, is EFI’s mid-range platform designed for premium-quality sign and graphics production, according to Daniel Aloi, senior regional sales manager at EFI.

“The VUTEk h3 model can be upgraded to a EFI VUTEk h5 model on site. With the upgrade, users can get even greater speed and capacity – up to forty-seven per cent higher productivity with top print speeds of one hundred and nine boards per hour,” he says.

The h3, which produces up to 74 boards per hour in eight-colour or four-colour plus white and lays down five print layers in a single pass, can be extended to increase throughput according to a printer’s needs.

“Being able to upgrade in the field is a first for EFI,” says Aloi. “It enables our customers to future-proof their businesses. They can confidently increase capacity when their business growth requires it, without the need to buy a new printer or compromising on speed or quality.”

“The 3.2m-wide h-series builds on EFI’s legacy as the leading provider of sustainable ‘cool cure’ production LED inkjet printers while establishing new benchmarks for productivity and profit opportunity,” says Aloi.

Software will also be highlighted on the stand, including Market Direct Cross Media and Market Direct Store Front; EFI Pace; and Fiery automation tools such as JobFlow and Impose.
