EFI Pro 16h+: Hybrid UV LED Printing for High-Value Sign and Display Graphics

Print providers looking to expand their capabilities often face a common challenge - how to efficiently handle both rigid boards and roll media without adding multiple devices to the shop floor and turning away potentially profitable jobs.

The EFI™ Pro 16h+ addresses that challenge with a hybrid UV LED platform designed to support a wide range of substrates and applications. At ISA Sign Expo, visitors to the LexJet booth (#1301) will have the opportunity to see this production-level printer running live and producing real-world graphics!

If your shop is focused on growing into higher-value signage and display applications, the Pro 16h+ could be the perfect solution to help you reach that goal.

Hybrid Printing That Expands Applications

The EFI™ Pro 16h+ is a hybrid flatbed/roll-fed UV LED printer that supports both rigid boards and flexible media up to 65 inches wide, allowing print providers to move easily between different types of jobs on a single system.

This flexibility makes it ideal for creating a variety of wide-format graphics, including:

• Retail signage and point-of-purchase displays

• Posters and promotional graphics

• Indoor signage and décor

• Banners and event graphics

• Backlit and specialty display graphics

• Rapid prototyping for packaging and POP displays using fluted and honeycomb boards

By supporting both board and roll media, the printer allows shops to take on more projects without disrupting existing workflows.

Production Performance with UV LED Technology

The Pro 16h+ is designed for high-volume environments where speed and reliability matter. The printer can reach maximum productivity of up to 1,391 square feet per hour, allowing shops to complete large graphics jobs quickly.

EFI’s UV LED curing technology offers several advantages for production printing:

• Instant curing for faster turnaround

• Compatibility with heat-sensitive materials

• Lower energy consumption compared to traditional UV systems

White Ink and Multilayer Printing

Another key feature that makes the Pro 16h+ unique is its white ink and multilayer printing capability, which allows up to five layers of ink to be printed in a single pass.

This opens the door to high-impact graphics such as:

• Day/night backlit signage

• Window graphics on clear media

• Layered prints for unique visual effects

• Premium display graphics for retail environments

For many print providers, these might be precisely the types of specialty applications that create new revenue opportunities and help them stand out.
