EFI to Show Digital Printing Technologies at FESPA Asia

Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (EFI), a global technology firm, will show new industrial textile, packaging, and graphics machines for wide-format digital, textile, and corrugated packaging printing, at FESPA Asia, a global expo for screen, digital, textile printing and signage communities, to be held from February 22 to 24, 2018, in Bangkok, in stand A10.

The company will display the EFI Reggiani FLEXY industrial digital textile printer, EFI Fiery digital front end (DFE) products, and EFI Productivity Suite MIS/ERP business and production management workflow software at the expo.

The 1.8-metre Reggiani FLEXY printer showing at FESPA Asia will give apparel and décor producers the ability to confidently run a wide variety of fabrics – from knitted to woven, as well as low- and high-stretchable materials – using the printer’s new sticky belt with Dynaplast system, which provides optimised fabric adhesion with adjustable temperature and pressure.

The Reggiani FLEXY model incorporates the latest digital technologies for best-in-class performance, is easy to operate and has a low maintenance cost, making it an ideal solution for production and sampling alike.

EFI Reggiani digital printers also benefit from an advanced production workflow available with the new Fiery Textile Bundle. The bundle combines the tools for efficient textile design and file preparation, with the Fiery digital front end (DFE) for professional colour management and high-quality RIP output. The design tools quickly and easily create professional designs, seamless repeat patterns and multiple colourways, and include functionality to manage colour libraries and palettes for design teams. The bundle’s Fiery DFE features dedicated textile functionality to deliver accurate colour, fine details, high saturation, and smooth gradients, and can be used with all EFI Reggiani digital printer models and dedicated cutting systems.

Show attendees can experience EFI’s 360-degree, interactive virtual reality demonstrations of two of the industry’s most-advanced production inkjet technologies, a VR demo of the EFI VUTEk HS125 Pro, a 3.2-metre inkjet press, that provides an immersive VR experience in flatbed or roll-to-roll printing where viewers can open the printer doors to see carriage movement; and EFI’s brand-new VR demo of the EFI Nozomi C18000 that gives an up-close, virtual look at this ultra-high-speed, single-pass, LED inkjet press, a breakthrough production device that is helping to redefine the role digital print plays in corrugated packaging and merchandise display applications.

Attendees can also see innovations from the new version 6 of EFI’s enterprise commercial, midmarket print, publication, quick print, packaging and corrugated packaging productivity suites for advanced, end-to-end business and production MIS/ERP workflows.
