NUR at the International Sign Expo in April 2007
NUR Macroprinters exhibited some of its latest innovations earlier this month at the International Sign Expo (ISA) in Las Vegas.
Visitors from all over the industry came to see these latest additions to wide-format printing:
NUR Expedio(TM) 5000 Revolution will revolutionize the market for billboards providing the lowest cost per sq.m /hr - at a speed of incredible 300 sq.m (3,200 sq.ft) /hr! In addition, the NUR Expedio(TM) 5000 Revolution enables 4 times the ink coverage of most solvent-based printers making it now cost effective to print with UV inks.
The new NUR Expedio(TM) 3200 Flatbed Module includes a simple feeder, which enables a quick changeover between roll-fed and rigid printing, underscoring the flexibility of a flatbed machine. The increased media versatility facilitates the printing of a wide variety of applications from point of purchase to billboard. A top class hybrid!
NUR Tempo(TM) Q, released last month, this higher resolution version of NUR's popular flatbed UV-inkjet production printer produces print speeds of up to 100 sq.m (1,070 sq.ft) /hr. The NUR Tempo TM Q prints directly on both rigid and roll-fed substrates and is designed to produce very high image quality of up to true 1,270 x 800 dpi for a broad range of wide-format printing applications.
The new NUR Tango is designed to bring an unprecedented level of cost-effectiveness to the wide-format printing market and is set to become the machine of choice for middle-sized print shops. Printing at speeds of up to 87 sq.m (934 sq.ft) /hr for outdoor applications and 40 sq.m (430
sq.ft) /hr for high-quality, point-of-purchase applications, makes it the most attractive, versatile solution on the market today.
