EFI makes world debut of VUTEk 340i printer at FESPA 2018

EFI has announced that its VUTEk 340i printer is available at a price that is less than the cost of a comparable printer and heat press purchased separately. Plus, the combined printer/heat press system uses less floor space than would be required with separate printing and sublimation stations. The company is making the global debut of the printer at FESPA 2018 at Messe Berlin, Germany. The printer is a continued advancement of the company’s soft-signage portfolio. The new in-line innovation for this product line creates direct-to-fabric prints that are immediately ready for finishing or shipping.

VUTEk 340i printer is a 3.4-meter wide aqueous-based soft signage printer with EFI platen and extraction technology system that enables product to be sublimated inline. It features dramatic four-color printing with ultra-high resolution up to 2,400 dpi and four level grayscale printing. It can run at the production speeds up to 2,691 sq ft (250 sq m) per hour, printing directly on fabric with inline fixation for graphics that are immediately ready for finishing and packing.
