For a busy wide-format shop, adding capacity is only part of the equation. The bigger opportunity may be expanding the types of work you can take on without adding another printer for every application.
At 10.5 feet wide, the EFI™ Pro 33r gives shops a superwide roll-to-roll platform designed to work across a broad range of flexible media and applications. That means the same printer can move from everyday signage and banners to window graphics, wallcoverings, backlit displays, and more.
A wider application range gives shops more flexibility when customer needs change from job to job.
With the Pro 33r, that can include:
Its EFI-3M™ SuperRange UV LED ink is designed for adhesion across a wide range of flexible materials. That versatility gives production shops room to respond to a broader mix of customer requests without limiting a superwide printer to one or two high-volume applications.
The Pro 33r includes an integrated mesh kit for porous substrates, while its wrinkle analyzer detects media wrinkles before they reach the printheads. EFI notes that this can help protect against head strikes while allowing shops to work with lower-cost media options.
For shops producing a mix of jobs, those tools can make it more practical to move between different media types rather than building the workflow around a narrow substrate range.
The application range can extend further depending on how the Pro 33r is configured. Optional white ink supports printing on colored and transparent media and offers multiple print modes for applications such as backlit and blockout graphics. EFI UltraClear Coat can be printed inline as either a full flood or selective matte coating, creating decorative effects or adding protection without moving the graphic to a separate offline coating process.
Those capabilities open additional possibilities for window graphics, backlits, décor, and other applications where the printed effect is just as important as the size of the graphic.
For a high-volume shop, versatility can be as valuable as speed. A platform that handles different media, applications, and job requirements gives you more ways to use that production capacity.
The EFI™ Pro 33r combines a 10.5-foot print width with the media-handling and ink options needed to support a diverse roll-to-roll workload- all from one platform.
