Thursday 09. October 2008 - New colours for premium quality vinyl ImagePerfect IP5700 also among Spandex highlights in Milan
Spandex, the pioneering one-stop supplier of complete and innovative solutions to the digital printing, sign-making and imaging industries worldwide, announced that Gerbers recently launched UV inkjet printer, the Gerber Solara ionx will spearhead its product line up on booth 3 stand E01/F02 at Viscom-Sign Milan (Milano, 13th -15th November).
The Gerber Solara ionx is a flatbed/roll-to-roll, wide-format, UV inkjet printer featuring advanced GerberCAT cationic inks and Cold Fire Cure technology. Cold Fire Cure technology is a unique UV curing process that provides revolutionary inkjet curing features by using low energy and low temperatures to cure the proprietary GerberCAT cationic inks. As a result, the range of printable substrates is significantly expanded.
“We are delighted to be displaying key products from our industry-leading sign solutions range and are especially pleased to exhibit the Gerber Solara ionx”, says Marino Lanzi, Spandex Country Manager for Italy.
In addition, information will be available on the Gerber M-Series. These powerful and versatile flatbed cutters allow for automatic print-to-cut finishing of a wide spectrum of graphic outputs from routing printed corrugated plastic to kiss-cutting vinyl decals and more. In conjunction with the Gerber Solara ionx, the M-Series offer multiple end-to-end solutions while maximizing productivity and operational efficiency.
Spandex will also introduce the latest additions to its exclusive ImagePerfect range having added a stunning number of Europes best-selling colours to its premium quality 5700P series. The expansion of the 5700P series – a high quality, 70?, flexible, self-adhesive polymeric gloss vinyl – comprises an additional 14 colours, all of which are available from stock. As with the 66 existing products in the 5700P range, the new films are particularly suited to computer-controlled cutting equipment where better cutting and both fast and very easy weeding is achieved, thanks to a high quality, specially-engineered release liner. The ImagePerfect 5700P range is ideal for any indoor or outdoor signage project, including vehicle and window graphics.
Spandex offers the industrys widest range of media brands including 3M and Avery. Spandexs ImagePerfect brand comprises an increasingly successful portfolio of products and the event will mark the launch of a number of specialist materials, including ImagePerfect IP 2519 and IP2518 – both of which are ideal for use with UV printers.
