Electronics For Imaging (EFI; Fremont, CA) has earned a Type II certification for wallcoverings based on The Wallcovering Association’s W-101 and ASTM F793 standards.
EFI’s new Type II certification applies to EFI’s portfolio of UV LED, roll-to-roll printers, including the EFI Pro 32r+, the VUTEk 3r+/5r+, D3r/D5r and new Q3r/Q5r printers. The wallcoverings were tested for durability and tear resistance; scrubbability and washability; color fastness; and Class A fire retardancy and safety, among other things.
The Type II certification is an indicator for quality, safety and durability of wallcoverings. Unlike other Type II certifications for digital inkjet printers, EFI’s new certification covers wallcoverings produced without lamination or coating.
Along with the Type II certification, EFI roll-to-roll digital UV LED printers also received the Class A fire rating according to The Wallcovering Association’s evaluation and ASTM E84.
