New VUTEk Printers Redefine Superwide Format Printing

From Las Vegas to Europe, New VUTEk Printers Offer Photo-realistic Output at Incredible Speeds and Widths up to 3.2 Meters

The new EFI™ VUTEk GS3200 debuted at the recent ISA Sign Expo in Las Vegas, while the new VUTEk® QS3220 was unveiled at the recent FESPA event in Europe. "The new VUTEk systems are uniquely suited for both the lucrative POP and outdoor advertising marketplaces,” said Frank Mallozzi, senior vice president, worldwide sales and marketing, EFI. “The VUTEk systems offer flexibility, high speeds and photorealistic quality for exceptional results with phenomenal return on investment.”

EFI VUTEk GS3200 – Make No Compromises

The VUTEk GS3200 delivers incredible photorealistic quality and impressive output speeds, extending the application set of superwide printing beyond the traditional 3.2-meter applications of banners and signs into more detail-intensive applications such as stunning Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays on a wide range of rigid and flexible substrates. The printer’s dual resolution capability enables true 600 dpi with 24-picoliter drops and true 1000 dpi with 12-picoliter drops, and can print in eight-colors plus two channels for white. In its Fast-5 mode, the GS3200 prints eye-catching four-color plus white graphics at speeds up to 2,400 square feet (223 square meters) per hour. For more demanding POP applications, switch to the GS3200's eight-color plus white mode and print absolutely stunning images at speeds up to 1200 square feet (111 square meters) per hour. The flexibility and application range provided by this printer make it the perfect substitute for a number of wide and superwide format printers in print shops, and the options for shorter runs, higher speeds and superior quality allow the VUTEk GS3200 to offer the highest return on investment in the industry. (The VUTEk GS2000, a 2-meter hybrid UV digital printer, was announced at the FESPA Digital Expo, Amsterdam in May 2009.)
