Flatbed printers of swissQprint now with new Tip Switch Vacuum Table

Tip Switch Vacuum table (patent pending) by swissQprint operates selectively and powerfully to boost everyday efficiency. All swissQprint large-format flatbed printers now come with this new system that is subdivided into as many as 256 segments. The user can switch segments on or off quickly, easily and steplessly at the touch of a finger using the swissQprint Tip Switch Vacuum. This eliminates tedious and time-consuming masking and taping, not least in the gap between boards and dual rolls. Because there is no air leakage, the vacuum develops its full force and reliably holds down even unruly media such as corrugated board.

The vacuum table also incorporates a cutting channel that provides a defined and precise trimming edge for roll materials and thin media. For tandem production, the vacuum table is divided into two zones, each independently adjustable by the Tip Switch
Vacuum. Tandem enables non-stop production: media are loaded onto the printing table alternately at the front and rear. While printing is underway on one side, the operator loads the other side, and vice versa – without idle time, until the series is complete.
