Graph Expo: A Digital Printing Redux
Labels and Wide-format Printing
EFI launched its high-speed Jetrion 4900 inkjet label printer at Labelexpo, weeks before Graph Expo, but also brought it to Chicago. It combines UV inkjet printing and laser finishing in a modular, upgradable system. At Graph Expo, the company showed the Fiery FS100 Pro DFE for the first time in the U.S. New features include HyperRIP, a performance-enhancing technology, and Fiery JobMaster, an advanced makeready solution for producing complex jobs.
