Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI) unveiled a wide array of innovative solutions in inkjet printing for packaging, display graphics, and textiles, all on display at its stand at drupa 2024, running through June 7 at Messe Düsseldorf.
“Our return to drupa brings some of the most transformative announcements in EFI history,” said Frank Pennisi, CEO of EFI. “We’re excited to use this opportunity to launch groundbreaking innovations, like the world’s first full-color, on-demand rightsized box system, and true water-based single-pass inkjet technology for corrugated printing. The solutions on our stand present game-changing opportunities that visitors can implement today and plan for tomorrow to future-proof their businesses in a highly competitive and rapidly changing marketplace.”
EFI is unveiling two new solutions at drupa, as well as announcing disruptive developments for existing solutions. Featured live at EFI’s stand is the must-see Packsize EFI X5 Nozomi, the world's first full-color, on-demand, right-sized box system. It prints, cuts, creases, glues, and erects customized boxes at rates as fast as one box every six seconds with high-resolution graphics, all in a single, streamlined solution – a truly astonishing new offering for the corrugated packaging industry.
In other packaging news, EFI announced the EFI Nozomi 14000 AQ true water-based, single-pass inkjet technology for corrugated packaging and displays. EFI Genuine Water-based Inks offer packaging producers another choice for their corrugated applications and are compliant with the European Printing Ink Association (EuPIA), Swiss Ordinance RS817.023.21, and Nestlé Guidance Note & European directives on packaging inks.
"Our aqueous, single-pass inkjet technology sets a new standard for corrugated packaging with vibrant, high-quality, and eco-friendly printing," said Evandro Matteucci, VP/GM inkjet packaging and building materials. "This innovation ensures compliance with some of the most stringent regulations while enabling businesses to meet customer demands swiftly and efficiently."
EFI also announced the EFI Nozomi 12000 MP single-pass LED inkjet technology for direct-to-metal printing. Specifically designed for printing on metal, aluminum, and tinplate packaging, the metal packaging industry can now benefit from highly flexible, industrial inkjet printing with the advanced capabilities, efficiencies and sustainable technology built for 24/7 production.
A second brand-new printer on display is the production-level EFI VUTEk X5r superwide roll-to-roll LED inkjet printer. This new five-meter press marks a milestone in nearly independent operation.
The printer is running at the EFI stand for live demonstrations through the show. In the last of EFI’s single-pass developments, the company has also announced the new 1.7-meter-wide EFI Nozomi 17000 SD single-pass LED inkjet printer for sign and display. The super-high-speed, high-quality production capabilities of EFI Nozomi SD single-pass LED printers offer users the opportunity to significantly improve speed to market and increase profitability.
Visitors to EFI’s stand can also see many of the company’s existing industry-leading solutions, such as EFI VUTEk Q3h XP high-speed hybrid flatbed/roll-fed inkjet printer; EFI Nozomi 14000 SD single-pass printer for sign and display applications; EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340i+ dye sublimation soft signage inkjet printer with inline fixation; and EFI Reggiani ecoTERRA water-based pigment solution that eliminates the need for pre-treatment, steaming, washing, or stentering.
“Our outstanding team has worked hard to make our drupa exhibition one of the hottest places on the show floor, with both new and proven solutions,” Pennisi added. “We wanted our stand to show that no other exhibitor at drupa can bring together such a comprehensive, stunning array of disruptive solutions that offer the ultimate in performance, profitability, and customer satisfaction. We’re not just here to preview future concepts; our solutions are available to order right now, at drupa.”
