swissQprint presented two new large format printers at FESPA 2017: Impala LED and Nyala LED. With a mechanically perfected foundation, these new models operate with even greater precision than their predecessors. LED curing makes them hugely versatile, highly profitable and environmentally friendly.
“There is a lot more to Impala LED and Nyala LED than LED,” said Maurus Zeller at Fespa 2017. The swissQprint product manager explained the further refinements to the mechanical basis of the quality printers. According to Zeller, “On this foundation, we then put the LED technology for even greater precision.” LED curing is claimed to significantly reduce power consumption. Less heat build-up in turn increases the variety of materials that can be printed, enabling new applications. The lamp system is maintenance-free, so consumables and downtimes for maintenance are no longer necessary. “The new machines are profitable, highly precise and environmentally friendly,” Zeller concluded.
swissQprint launched what the company calls a 4×4 version of its existing Impala and Nyala series in early 2017. Impala LED and Nyala LED are optionally available in this version as well, meaning that they come configured with quadruple CMYK for impressive quality at high printing speed. This makes them suited to users requiring high output with uncompromising quality and vivid colours. High-quality POS items, displays, posters, banners, backlit and other similarly demanding media are just some of the applications.
Maurus Zeller explains: “An LED system pays for itself within two years of single-shift operation.” Next to efficiency and versatility, this comes thanks to the maintenance-free nature of the lamps and their modest power consumption, which is said to be 50 percent less than a conventional system. Another advantage: the lamps are instantly ready to go, so the new printers are outstanding in terms of high availability as well as being productive and easy on the budget. Maurus Zeller promises: “Impala LED and Nyala LED operate with a constant high standard of quality throughout their lifecycle. Not only that, they conserve energy resources and generate no ozone or mercury waste.”
Impala LED and Nyala LED are now available through the swissQprint distribution partner network in around 40 countries.
