EFI roll-to-roll UV LED printers have earned a Type II certification for wall-coverings based on The Wall-covering Association W-101 and ASTM F793 standards. The company’s inkjet roll-to-roll UV LED printers continue to deliver innovations for super-wide format graphics production printing, and they have now achieved an important certification for the quality and durability of prints used for décor applications. This certification proves once again EFI’s approach to delivering the best to the market – giving its customers the ability to produce a wide range of challenging applications with the highest print quality at the lowest cost of production.
The Type II certification is an indicator for quality, safety and durability of wall-coverings and, unlike other Type II certifications for digital inkjet printers, EFI’s new certification covers wall-coverings produced without lamination or coating. These certifications should assure PSPs that the product they can produce meets all of the critical regulatory aspects of a true commercial wall-covering. EFI’s new Type II certification applies to EFI’s extensive portfolio of UV LED roll-to-roll printers – including the EFI Pro 32r+, and VUTEk 3r+/5r+, D3r/D5r, and new Q3r/Q5r printers. The wallcoverings were tested for durability and tear resistance; scrubbability and washability; colour fastness; Class A fire retardancy and safety; and more.
