EFI, the world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, and Raster Printers, a leading manufacturer of mid-range flatbed printing systems, recently announced that customers who purchase Raster Printers’ Daytona H700UV 72-inch wide production flatbed UV printer will also immediately benefit from EFI’s production, printing and proofing solution, Fiery XF, bundled with the printer.

Utilizing Toshiba Tec’s CA4 grey scale printheads with drop sizes ranging from 6 pL to 42 pL, H700UV printer produces near photographic quality images. A vacuum belt media handling system can handle roll and rigid media up to 72 inches wide, 1.8 inches thick and 100 pounds in weight. In 4-colour mode, eight printheads, each with 318 nozzles, can produce graphics at the speed of up to 320 square feet per hour. The addition of two optional printheads enables white ink printing in multiple modes to support printing on clear as well as substrates of different colours. While based on Colorproof XF and Bestcolor technology, Fiery XF leverages EFI’s proofing competence for perfect colours on the Dayton printer.

According to Frank Mallozzi, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing, EFI, “Raster Printers and EFI share the objective of providing innovative solutions that deliver a competitive advantage for customers.
