SAi PixelBlaster Software Bundled with World Record-Breaking Large Format Flatbed Printer
Dec 10, 2014
SA International (SAi), a provider of solutions for the professional signmaking, large format digital printing and CAD/CAM for CNC machining industries, has announced that its award-winning PixelBlaster print-to-finish production software has been bundled with the world’s largest digital flatbed printer, the Dip-Tech AR18000 digital ceramic in-glass printer. Covering pre-flight to production, SAi’s PDF-based PixelBlaster is a genuine end-to-end software that is designed to reduce bottlenecks, streamline workflows and increase profitability for users. SAi and Dip-Tech already enjoy an established collaboration, which saw SAi develop the exclusive PixelBlaster Dip-Tech Edition software to specifically address certain unique characteristics and challenges of Dip-Tech’s in-glass printers. As Dip-Tech's technology uses naturally pigmented ink and therefore doesn't use the CMYK colour set (instead using orange, red, blue, green, black and white, as well as any required special spot color), PixelBlaster is used to match the designer or architect's CMYK files into language the Dip-Tech printers understand. Dip-Tech has set a new world record for printer size with the Dip-Tech AR18000 – an achievement officially recognized by Guinness World Records under the category of "largest digital flatbed printer". The Dip-Tech printer stands at an impressive 18 meters (59 feet) in length – more than double the length of Dip-Tech's next-longest printer – and can print a single pane of glass with a total area of up to 64 square meters (688.89 square feet).
