Written by Liliana Wright | Sep 23, 2024 2:15:39 PM

Introducing the NEW EFI Pro 16h+ hybrid flatbed/roll-fed LED printer, designed to elevate your printing capabilities. The Pro 16h+ printer delivers outstanding image quality with production speeds up to 50% faster than the original model, white ink, and up to five-layer printing in any color in a single pass. Plus, new high-performance EFI ProGraphics™+ Series LED Inks print on a wide range of substrates for nearly limitless applications – all while keeping a low total cost of ownership.

Attendees of the PRINTING United Expo had the opportunity to experience EFI’s latest printing technology up close at the LexJet booth, where live demonstrations and printed samples showcased the possibilities. The display sparked inspiration, encouraging visitors to envision new growth and expanded capabilities for their own businesses.

What makes this latest equipment so exciting for those in the sign and display graphics markets? For starters, the Pro 16h+ is equipped with new front and back media pressure rollers, allowing it to handle a wider variety of media. Its semi-continuous board feeding system boosts productivity, while the advanced four-chamber media-platen vacuum system, with independent power controls, ensures efficient media hold-down and smooth transitions between jobs.

Additionally, the printer features embedded Fiery ProServer Core technology with FAST RIP acceleration for faster, more efficient processing. Its LED curing technology supports CYMK printing with two dedicated white ink channels.

With a large printable area of 120x80 inches (over 3x2m), the Pro 16h+ accommodates thicker media—up to 4 inches (101.6mm)—and supports bleed printing for edge-to-edge output. This all-in-one powerhouse is built to take your print business to the next level.

The range of features designed to enhance business growth and productivity is impressive! Here are a few standout features that make this printing solution one you won’t want to miss:

  • Quick printer recovery if carriage crashes with media

  • Dual movable foot pedal to start the vacuum from any side of the printer

  • Resolution up to 1200 x 1200 dpi

  • True variable drop grayscale printing with 5pL drop sizes for saturated colors, smooth gradients, and fine text

  • Remarkable open time - eliminating the need to purge or wipe printheads between jobs

  • Offers a greener print solution with low VOC inks, lower power consumption, and less waste and consumables
