EFI VUTEk D5r

X-cutter – unique roll-to-sheet horizontal cutter incorporated in the printer.

• Automatically cuts media on the X-axis between jobs on the fly
• Controlled via the front-end software
• Does not affect productivity
• Saves valuable time at the finishing station
• Replaces expensive cutting equipment and saves space
• Prevents finishing errors and increases yield

ID backprint – a device that prints file information on the back of the media, facilitating the identification of finished jobs for packing, shipping, and installation.

• Printed data includes:
  • File ID
  • Printing date and time
  • Print mode
  • Copy number and more
• Eliminates the need for manual labeling
• Helps prevent shipping errors
• Saves time during installation of the printed job

White printing

• Enables printing on coloured and transparent media
• Opens up a myriad of creative possibilities
• Instant uptime of white printheads, thanks to the advanced circulation system in the ink tanks and along the entire ink system
• Multiple white print modes for various challenging applications:
  • White only
  • White as background
  • White on top of colour
  • White for backlit applications (C-W-C)
  • Five-layer printing (C-W-B-W-C) for blockout printing on clear
• Various additional three- and five-layer print modes

UltraClear Coat

• Printed inline, simultaneously with the image
• Printed on top of the colour layer
• Enhances the output, adding extra pop to the colours and offering beautiful creative possibilities
• Full flood or selective
• Glossy or matte finish with the same ink
• Provides three years of outdoor protection against:
  • Abrasion and scratching
  • Chemicals such as detergents, gasoline, and IPA
  • Weather damage
  • Air pollution
  • UV fading/yellowing
• Saves time versus separate offline coating systems

Automatic blockout printing – an automatic system that enables printing on both sides of opaque blockout media, resulting in excellent registration between sides.

• Accuracy of ≤ 5 mm over 10 linear metres
• Includes an optical sensor system, dedicated electronics, and software
• Simple, easy, and fully automatic system
• Eliminates the need for guesswork and manual manipulation
• Reduces required operator skill level
• Two available workflows to be defined before printing:
  • Head-to-head printing for short jobs where media is rolled back, flipped over, and reinstalled with side B up
  • Head-to-tail printing for longer jobs where printed media is collected on a front core, flipped over, and reinstalled with side B up

Notes

• Single-roll printing for side B
• Use of X-cutter and Y-slitters with automatic blockout is limited:
  • Slitters – possible according to built-in instructions
  • Cutter – can be used for side B

Automatic backlit printing – Automatic, patented system for perfectly aligned double-sided backlit printing on backlit media.

• Accuracy of ≤ 2 mm)over 10 linear meters
• Camera-guided software automatically corrects registration on the X, Y, and tilt axes
• Includes two cameras, LED strip along the printing table, and dedicated software
• Simple, easy, and fully automatic system
• Eliminates the need for guesswork and manual manipulation
• Reduces required operator skill level

Three-metre super duty winder – fully integrated unwinder or rewinder option for EFI VUTEk roll-to-roll 3m and 5m printers.

• Enables working with heavy 3 m media rolls up to 793 kg
• Enables continuous, uninterrupted work without stopping to change rolls
• Increases productivity in high volume runs due to less make-ready
• Equipped with dancer and external motor
• Material width: 320 cm
• Maximum media diameter: 70 cm
• Standard 3 in core; optional 6 in core

Motorised winder – integrated winder and unwinder solution with motorised pneumatic inflatable core shafts for precise and excellent media collection.

• Improves media advancement and print quality
• Allows using larger and heavier rolls
• Supports full printer width media as well as multi-roll printing:
  • 2 x 1.6 m units for 3 m printer models, front/back
  • 3x 1.6 m units for 5 m printer models, front/back

Media edge guard (MEG) – used for media types with uneven or wavy edges that tend to curl or unravel, such as textiles and wallpaper.

• Protects the print carriage and printheads from crashing into uneven media edges
• Eliminates ruined jobs and prevents media waste
• Attaches quickly and easily with magnets anywhere along the printing table
• Use as many units as needed and multiple units for multi-roll printing

Media spreaders – a pair of clamp-like devices that stretch the media sideways to enable neat media inlet to the printer.

• Helps prevent potential media wrinkles
• Improves media advance
• Facilitates printing on various types of challenging media
• Easy to install at both ends of the press beam on the rear of the printer
• Position and tilt angle are adaptable to the media type and width

Wrinkle analyser – helps avoid printhead strikes caused by media wrinkles, saving time and money by preventing ruined jobs and enabling the use of lower-cost media.

• Media height detector identifies a media wrinkle before it reaches the printhead
• The front-end software prompts the user to raise the carriage just enough to avoid a head strike that may ruin the job and, then, to resume printing

Mobile operator station – mobile workstation slides from its home position towards the middle of the printer.

• Saves the operator from moving back and forth between the station and the output
• Equipped with a touch screen for quick and easy operation
• Increases productivity and usability

Media saving wizard

• Designed to improve media stock management
• The user enters the length of the media each time a new or partially used roll is loaded into the software
• Before the media is removed from the printer, a label with the remaining media length is printed on the rim of the roll
• The software will alert the user before starting a job if the remaining media on the roll is insufficient for the job
