EFI™ (Fremont, CA) has announced an agreement with the 120-location, SpeedPro Imaging sign franchise in which the former will bring inkjet-imaging capabilities to the franchise’s studios, beginning with a 65-in. LED, wide-format inkjet printer. With the agreement, SpeedPro studios can purchase a range of products, including hybrid roll/flatbed printers that handle rigid, sheet and roll-to-roll substrates, and include white ink as a standard capability. EFI’s Professional Services organization will also help individual studios attain G7 standards on EFI printers.
The hybrid roll/flatbed printer features eight-level, variable-drop grayscale imaging and EFI’s “cool cure” LED technology, which enables printing on a broad range of substrates, including media that cannot withstand the high-heat drying or curing methods used in other inkjet platforms.
