Gandy Digital had the first live public demonstration of its new Fascin8tor large format five metre UV roll-to-roll printer at drupa 2016. The printer enables large format print houses and sign and display businesses to increase productivity, application variety and job profitability.
Equipped with eight Ricoh Gen 4 6 picolitre print heads per colour and advanced Blade technology, the Fascin8tor produces optimum print resolution in all printing modes and speeds, ensuring vibrant high-quality print output across an array of applications. As well as printing onto mesh without a liner for outdoor applications such as billboards, these include an array of indoor POS/POP and other promotional projects. The automatic head height adjustment allows users to change material thickness in minutes, while the print heads are protected through the printer’s unique crash sensor option.
Moreover, thanks to the Fascin8tor’s high density, small fixed dot printing capability customers enjoy improved cost-savings due to reduced ink consumption per square metre. The Fascin8tor also allows multiple material rolls to print different jobs at the same time, while the printer’s jumbo roll feature handles rolls up to 1000 metres long with ease.
Shmulik Lagziel, Managing Director EMEA, Gandy Digital, said, ‘Having only offered a single static display of the Fascin8tor, we were thrilled to demonstrate its full capabilities via live demonstrations for the first time at a major international tradeshow.
‘Thanks to key speed and print quality features that directly meet the needs of users, this large format five metre UV roll-to-roll printer is already beginning to engage the interest of the large format print community.’
