swissQprint Launches New Generation of Flatbeds

swissQprint (Kriessern, Switzerland) has announced Generation 5 of their flatbed large-format printers, according to a press release.

“Our flatbed Generation 5 is based on the same robust platform as the successful high-end Kudu model, which has proven itself worldwide over the past two years,” Carmen Eicher, chief sales and marketing officer at swissQprint, is quoted in the press release. More than 100 customers have already experienced the platform. “With the new range and the performance spread between the respective models, we are appealing to an even broader customer base,” Eicher adds.

Kudu along with the Nyala 5 and the Impala 5 form a lineup that is 23% faster than the previous generation, offering a top speed of 3,670 sq. ft./hr.

The Generation 5 flatbeds are based on a completely reworked machine concept, electronics and software included, per the press release. “An essential element here is the new printer base. Its extreme robustness establishes the foundation for benchmark precision. Moreover, the printers come equipped with linear motors that help to make printing performance not only more precise still, but faster too,” it reads in part.

“With the latest print heads and a resolution of 1,350 dpi, the new generation delivers outstanding print quality,” Eicher is further quoted. These flatbed printers also offer limitless versatility with their ten freely configurable color channels. In addition to light colors and white, there are spot colors such as neon or orange as well as effect varnish and primer to extend the range of applications.

swissQprint develops and produces its large-format printers 100% at the company’s headquarters in Switzerland, giving end-to-end control over the whole system. The company offers a 36-month factory warranty.

The new models are available now. Presentations are possible at both swissQprint America showrooms in Elgin, IL and Irvine, CA upon agreement (call +1 224 802 27 70). The Generation 5 printers will also be on show at Graphics Canada, Toronto, April 9-11, booth 5340, and ISA International Sign Expo, Las Vegas, April 23-25, booth 825.
