Highlights
True hybrid versatility
Print on rigid and flexible media in one footprint — up to 126 in (3.2 m) wide and up to 2 in (5.08 cm) thick — with fast changeover between flatbed and roll-to-roll printing setups.
High-volume throughput
Deliver production-level performance up to 105 boards per hour (4,219 ft²/hr | 392 m²/hr). Additionally, the continuous print and multi-queue capabilities keep jobs running efficiently with continuous media loading that detects the next board as it’s loaded — enabling two-up printing without loading boards at the same time.
Exceptional image quality at speed
Achieve sharp detail and vibrant color with resolution up to 3,000 dpi and 7pL/14pL grayscale printing. In addition, the printer’s magnetic linear drive, advanced controls, and high-speed jetting deliver precise dot placement for sharper images.
Efficient six-zone vacuum hold-down
An automated, user-selectable six-zone vacuum system provides strong media hold-down for accurate registration and two-up printing, while helping lower power consumption and reduce operational noise.
Dual roll printing
Run two rolls simultaneously — each up to 60 in (152 cm) wide — and even print different jobs on each roll to maximize productivity.
Best-in-class white ink and multilayer printing
Differentiate with EFI’s best-in-class white ink in both opacity and smooth gradients. In addition, multilayer printing in up to nine layers in a single pass delivers premium, high-value display applications.
Optional clear ink
The optional clear ink can be used full flood to enhance an entire image or as a spot in selected areas to add extra pop to colors or special effects to graphics. Clear ink can be printed simultaneously with white and in line with the other colors.
Lower costs and greener production with LED curing
EFI’s LED curing technology features instant on/off operation, uses less power, and requires less maintenance than conventional UV systems. As a result, users benefit from more uptime, lower operating costs, and less waste. Moreover, it expands your media range to include thinner, lower-cost, and heat-sensitive substrates.
Next-generation Genuine EFI Inks
Get consistent, reliable performance with inks formulated specifically for the VUTEk M3h X printer. Excellent open time reduces the need to purge or wipe between jobs, while reliable jetting supports uptime. The inks deliver excellent adhesion, elongation, and water resistance — and are environmentally friendly (virtually no VOCs, no heavy metals, TPO- and THFA-free).

Day/Night backlit graphics
Use best-in-class white ink and multilayer printing (up to nine layers) to create high-impact, day/night backlit graphics – a standout, higher-margin application.
Outdoor signage
Produce a wide range of outdoor signage efficiently — from short-term promotions on low-cost media to longer-term displays on more durable substrates — with fast production speeds and reliable LED curing.
Indoor signage
Create high-impact retail and restaurant graphics by printing direct to foam board, aluminum, acrylic, styrene, and other rigid or flexible substrates — with precise dot placement for crisp text, fine detail, and vibrant color.
Tradeshow and event graphics
Meet demanding deadlines for events with a single device that prints both rigid panels and flexible graphics — including booth backdrops, hanging banners, rigid signs, and backlit displays — using CMYK plus white for maximum impact.
Special effects and graphic protection
Use optional clear ink for spot or full-flood effects to make graphics stand out — adding highlight details, contrast, and a premium finish, or applying a protective clear coat, all printed in line with the other colors for efficient production.
