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

• Designed to protect the print carriage and printheads from crashing into uneven media edges
• Eliminates ruined jobs and prevents media waste
• Can be attached 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
• Two units are included as standard with VUTEk 5r+ and VUTEk Q5r printers

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

• Enables working with heavy 3 m media rolls up to 1,748 lb (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: 126 in (320 cm)
• Maximum media diameter: 28 in (70 cm)
• Standard 3 in core; optional 6 in core

Dual roll split shaft for the EFI Pro 32r+ – consists of two individual motorized airshafts. Ensure precise and accurate media collection and improved media advance, resulting in excellent print quality.

• Enables printing simultaneously on two media rolls with different diameters
• Tension between the rolls is automatically adjusted according to the media diameter
• Media loading and unloading is flexible, simple, and quick
• Shafts can be inflated to fixate the media and avoid shifting side to side
• Supports media rolls up to 441 lb (200 kg) per shaft

Auto mesh system – Printing on mesh and other porous substrates becomes faster, easier, and cleaner than ever before.

• Full shift, non-stop, continuous mesh printing
• Reduced mist and overspray
• Decreased operator labor
• 4 user-defined blotter speed levels

Notes:

• 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
