The Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI), a technology company for transformation from analogue to digital imaging, is showing digital production products at SGIA, Specialty Graphic Imaging Association expo 2017, being held from October 10 to 12, 2017, in US, in booth #1501. The products show how signage and graphics businesses can improve productivity.

The company is showing the new EFI Pro 24f true flatbed LED printer shown for the very first time. EFI’s exhibit at the New Orleans tradeshow also includes an EFI Reggiani industrial textile digital printer making its North American debut. Plus, attendees can see a complete portfolio of production inkjet printers, workflow software and EFI Fiery digital front end (DFE) technologies that help businesses drive a stronger competitive advantage.

The new Pro 24f LED flatbed printer launched at SGIA Expo is designed to give signage and graphics providers a sharp competitive edge. It contains the most powerful features, including EFI’s LED and variable drop grayscale head technology, and provides precision imaging, fine detail and outstanding image quality.

For industrial apparel and décor textile applications, EFI is showcasing the new Reggiani ReNOIR FLEXY printer in its North American debut. The 1.8-metre wide printer delivers the high resolution and outstanding performance and results of larger Reggiani devices, yet it is affordable enough to allow nearly any business to get into industrial textile.

The EFI Pro 16h LED wide-format hybrid roll/flatbed printer on display sets a new standard for entry-level production. This extremely affordable 65-inch wide Fiery Driven printer includes white ink and delivers a low total cost of ownership and superior image quality for a broad range of applications.

Another hybrid product on display in the EFI booth, the EFI VUTEk LX3 Pro printer, is a 3.2-metre, eight-colour, LED production device that helps companies perfect their premium-quality point-of-purchase (POP) business. Designed to deliver high throughput, higher volumes and shorter lead times, it prints up to 64 4x8-foot boards per hour in POP mode. Attendees can also witness a virtual reality demonstration of the EFI VUTEk HS125 Pro, a high-volume production hybrid inkjet press offering the productivity and low total cost of ownership needed to transition larger volumes of print from analogue to digital printing.

EFI is also showcasing its next-generation line of VUTEk roll-to-roll printers, with the award-winning, 3.5-metre EFI VUTEk 3r LED printer on display at the show. This highly productive printer, with speeds up to 4,090 square feet per hour, has the highest resolution in its class, offering superior quality using EFI UltraDrop Technology 7-picoliter print heads.

The end-to-end workflow possibilities shown at SGIA expo extend to cross media marketing with EFI DirectSmile, a fully integrated marketing software solution for data-driven print, PURL, email, SMS, social media, mobile media, and image personalisation. The software enables customers to offer robust, customisable, and flexible campaign management across multiple media, including traditional and soft signage. (GK)
