UVgel technology
A unique ‘print-then-cure’ technology with instant-dry gel inks, cured with UV LED lights. The advantage of a gel over a fluid is that it is possible to deposit more ink in less passes, without the ink flowing in and over the medium. It results in razor-sharp prints with a wide colour gamut. Odourless and extremely durable.
FLXfinish+ technology
This ingenious technology maximizes the UVgel advantage with either a single – or a two-step curing strategy. It offers you a choice between either a gloss or a matte finish and a mixed matte/gloss finish, without the need to change inks or the media or having an extra varnish channel. Enjoy vibrant matte prints on smooth and more porous / structured media, like uncoated plain paper.
UVgel inks
Flexible and more stretchable inks allow printing on a broad media range, including plain paper, self-adhesive vinyls and polyester textiles. The increased stretch ability ensures you can plie, bend or fold the prints without problems for applications as soft signage or fine-art canvas.
PAINT technology
No need to babysit the printer as in the printheads, the nozzle status is continuously monitored with Piezo Acoustic Integrated Nozzle Technology (PAINT). When a malfunction is detected, the affected nozzle is (temporarily) switched off and compensated for by neighbouring nozzles. When the time is right, the print heads are cleaned. Fully automated.
