"Reliable All-Rounder"
Karibu complements the existing machinery at Stiefel Digitalprint and handles various kinds of roll-to-roll orders. Managing Director Bernhard Stiefel is happy, saying, "As expected, Karibu delivers impeccable quality and is a reliable all-rounder." Although the new roll-to-roll printer currently spends much of its time producing various PVC tarpaulins, it also gets to process wallpapers, a broad swathe of different textiles and backlit media. "The day-and-night applications are fantastic," enthuses Stiefel.
High Efficiency
Karibu has special features that ensure high efficiency. The operator, Dennis Weinrich, points out in particular the cassette system and material handling: "Roll changes are fast and easy. Working with Karibu is a real pleasure, it’s such a user-friendly printer." He also appreciates the edge hold-down devices, which ensure trouble-free processing of thin textiles and widths of wallpaper.
Worldwide Deliveries Now Available
Karibu premièred in May at Fespa 2019, with deliveries starting in September. Customers around the world are currently putting their new swissQprint roll-to-roll printer into operation.
