World’s first EFI VUTEk XT hybrid printer installed in Tennessee

EFI has announced that Tennessee-based based Ingram Express Services (IES) has installed the world’s first EFI VUTEk XT hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll display graphics printer. IES invested in the new super-high-speed solution to expand its VUTEk-heavy digital graphics production floor and venture into new market opportunities, addressing a growing demand for higher-volume rigid substrate work. IES purchased its first EFI printer in 2016. Now, along with the new XT model the company runs two hybrid and two roll-to-roll VUTEk systems – including a second VUTEk Q3r roll-fed UV LED inkjet printer installed earlier this year.

The newly unpacked VUTEk XT printer is built on an entirely new platform, designed for unmatched throughput and print capabilities, litho-like image quality, and unparalleled ink yield to help sign and display graphics providers win more profitable business and expand their applications. It is an exceptionally versatile solution that delivers outstanding results on signage media, as well as on corrugated board for high-end packaging and display applications.
