EFI has opened a new 225,000 sq ft innovation center at Londonderry, New Hampshire. The extensive Engineering R&D Center houses every EFI device from entry-level through high output hybrid machines, offering access to 38 different production machines representing 13 EFI models. The manufacturing operation has the capacity to produce 480 devices per year from this new facility. The manufacturing operation is supported by a modern and highly automated stock room, including a vending machine for tracking valuable inkjet components and vertical lifts to manage space efficiently.
The extensive warehouse at the centre can store completed print devices as well as test materials. The centre is designed to provide both demonstrations and hands-on customer training with state of the art class-rooms and access to the subject matter experts who build, service and support the devices all in one place. It also houses an extensive ink formulation and pilot laboratory for development of integrated ink chemistry and printhead jet testing, with capabilities including industrial applications and weathering chambers to support printer and ink qualification.
