The 5m roll-to-roll printer at Ottimo Digital produces giant backlits and overhead banner showcasing the scale, colour, and flexibility of EFI UV LED technology and UFABRIK display materials. CMYUK, Shrewsbury: CMYUK is using giant-format graphics produced on the EFI VUTEk Qx5r to demonstrate the full-scale capabilities of EFI’s latest 5m roll-to-roll UV LED printer at The Print Show. Produced by Ottimo Digital on its newly installed Qx5r, supplied by CMYUK, the graphics comprise two supersized backlit displays and a giant overhead banner. They will form a major visual feature of CMYUK’s presence, the largest in The Print Show’s ten-year history, giving visitors the opportunity to see the scale and quality of the Qx5r’s output without the printer itself being on the show floor.
On the stand, visitors will be able to see first-hand the rich, vibrant colour, large-area consistency and flexibility delivered by the Qx5r’s new ink set. UFABRIK Universal Backlit textile was specified for the large lightbox wall displays, bringing together EFI’s latest-generation UV LED print technology with one of UFABRIK’s leading display textiles. The substantial production run also provided a demanding real-world demonstration of the material’s consistency, colour reproduction and print performance across large-format backlit graphics. Visitors to the CMYUK stand would see the EFI VUTEk M3h 3.2m wide UV LED hybrid printer, Canon UVgel technology, next-generation JWEI cutting and finishing tables, plus a materials and applications showcase.
