Aimed at signage and graphics providers, the Pro 24f LED flatbed printer from EFI is being launched at SGIA Expo this week.

The new flatbed features EFI’s LED and variable drop grayscale head technology, and provides precision imaging, fine detail and outstanding image quality, according to the company.

With a 4ft x 8ft bed, offering four-colour printing plus white ink standard, the device is designed for at signage, photographic backlit displays, art reproductions, membrane switches, graphic overlays, lenticular prints and other specialty applications up to two inches thick.

Efficient hold-down with a multi-zone vacuum system eliminates masking while ensuring accurate registration for multiple over-prints or panels, and EFI’s “cool cure” LED technology ensures low power consumption, minimal waste and compatibility with thinner and heat-sensitive substrates.

An EFI Fiery proServer Core DFE built into the printer features FAST RIP acceleration technology plus a host of colour management and production options delivering a turnkey solution.

EFI’s exhibit at the New Orleans tradeshow also includes a Reggiani industrial textile digital printer making its North American debut after appearing at FESPA earlier this year.
