Spotlight on new wide-format printers from Canon, EFI, Epson, HP, Oce and Screen

Grand-format UV Inkjet Printer

At the SGIA Expo in October, Screen (USA) showed off the Truepress Jet2500UV grand-format UV inkjet printer, which prints detailed, vibrant and durable output. Designed to handle roll-fed and rigid media, it prints on paper, film, textiles, metal, wood and plastic. It delivers 1,500-dpi resolution using a true eight-level grayscale variable pattern with 6 to 42 picoliter drops. Screen's TruepressInk produces excellent adhesion on acrylic sheets, ceramics and stone. Once exposed to UV light, the brightly colored, ultrafine inks are very stable and will not fade. It is ideal for billboards, vehicle wraps, posters, transit advertising and exhibits, and is able to print up to seven image layers in one pass. —www.screenusa.com
