Karibu, the UV roll-to-roll printer from swissQprint, now has a powerful big brother: the new speed model. Created for print service providers (PSPs) who run multiple shifts to produce large volumes of items such as banners, non-durable poster prints, and XL billboards. Karibu S combines an output of up to 330 sq. m/hr. with impressively sharp images and edges.
Special printhead configuration
Karibu S features a defined printhead configuration: four printheads are in operation for each process color — and that explains the high throughput rate. What is more, all swissQprint large-format printers have nine dual-configurable color channels, so one channel is left free. Typically, this channel is configured with white to print items such as transparent films.
Universal and highly flexible ink
swissQprint's portfolio includes an optimized ink for its dedicated roll-to-roll printers. It features a broad adhesion profile and is very flexible. This means that PSPs can use almost every conceivable type of roll media. And the ink can stand up to everything that the material has to take: cutting, folding, stretching, and so on.
Automatic double-sided printing
As a new feature, both Karibu and Karibu S can handle automatic double-sided printing. Thanks to a camera system and QR codes, the process takes place automatically with high efficiency and reliability, supported by the Lory output software — developed in-house by swissQprint. Managing print jobs is made very simple thanks to intuitive graphic user guidance.
A profitable investment
Both Karibu models feature the same robust design as all swissQprint products — ensuring lifespans well above the average. With their low operating costs, the versatile UV roll-to-roll printers offer the promise of high added value throughout their long lifetimes. And the high standard of quality that is typical of swissQprint.
