AMP Printing Purchases EFI VUTEk HS100 Pro at ISA Tradeshow
“EFI is a very professional company that stands behind its equipment,” said Main. “Plus, EFI invests its money into R&D to strengthen its technology. The progress we have seen EFI make in the past few years with the development of the HS100 Pro proves it.”
According to Scott Schinlever, senior vice president and general manager of EFI’s Inkjet Solutions, it was a thrill to start this year’s ISA Sign Expo with a sale to a company like AMP Printing, a company that is known for its thorough commitment to high-quality work.”
The flexibility of digital, with image quality approaching offset
The new 3.2-meter wide press, which will be installed at AMP Printing’s facility this month, offers the productivity of screen printing, with image quality that approaches offset. The press’s fast speeds, as well as its flatbed and roll-to-roll printing capabilities, will help AMP further develop its growing superwide format revenue streams.
The HS100 printer’s speed will be especially beneficial on some of the work AMP produces for national retailers—targeted signage requiring quick and accurate output. The press also can meet the company’s stringent color management requirements—all of AMP Printing’s offset, digital production and proofing devices are configured to conform to the industry’s GRACoL 7 specification.
Building value with innovative, high-volume UV inkjet technology
The EFI VUTEk HS100 Pro is a versatile, high-speed digital UV press that offers print service providers (PSPs) a cost-effective digital platform to produce longer sheet runs. The press features EFI’s Pin & Cure imaging technology for precise ink lay-down for critical color accuracy and consistency, gloss control and an increased color gamut—all with the productivity and digital efficiencies needed to accommodate more versioning and localization.
Offering impressive throughput speeds of up to 100 boards per hour, the VUTEk HS100 Pro prints in up to eight colors, including white. True, variable-dot greyscale print head technology on the HS100 Pro helps PSPs maximize their ink yield while reducing their cost per print.
At AMP, the ability to print more high-quality work, with a lower total cost of ownership, is key to driving success in a challenging economic environment.
