Electronics For Imaging Inc. (EFI; Fremont, CA) announced, during the recent EFI Connect users’ conference in Las Vegas, the addition of the EFI VUTEk® HS125 F4 and HS100 F4 inkjet presses for “Fast Graphics” out-of-home applications to its lineup of hybrid flatbed/roll superwide-format products. The two new printers reconfigure the eight ink channels of the VUTEk HS series platform in a CMYK x 2 setup, efficiently addressing the need for cost-effective production on banners, billboards, building wraps and similar applications.
The new press models offer a significant speed increase, printing up to 225 boards/hr. on the HS125 F4 and up to 190 boards/hr. on the HS100 F4. The presses also include these standard HS features: pin and cure, variable-drop grayscale imaging and full- and semi-automated materials handling. The new presses will be available this quarter from EFI. Also beginning this quarter, customers who purchase VUTEk HS125 Pro and HS100 Pro presses can convert them to the new F4 models through a modification completed in the field.
