Gerber Scientific, Inc. Set to Debut the Solara ion(TM)V on January 8th

Wednesday 07. January 2009 - Next Generation Technology is World's Most Affordable Flatbed, UV Inkjet Printer

Gerber Scientific, Inc. (NYSE:GRB) announced today that it will debut its next generation inkjet technology, the Solara ionV later this week and will begin shipping by month end. While offering similar benefits as the Solara ionX, the latest generation of flatbed UV inkjet printer will be offered in a significantly more affordable package. Capitalizing on the tremendous success of Gerber’s innovative UV inkjet printing technology that utilizes GerberCAT(TM) cationic UV inks and Gerber’s patent-pending Cold Fire Cure(TM) process, the Gerber Solara ionV offers a price point that allows almost any size print shop to take advantage of its versatility and superior performance.

“We’re very excited about the introduction of our latest generation of cutting edge flatbed UV inkjet printers, which allows us to offer this advanced technology to a broader range of sign shops and printers — and lets them take advantage of the versatility and exceptional performance of the ionV,” said Marc Giles, Gerber Scientific President and Chief Executive Officer. “While as much as 30% less expensive than the ionX, there isn’t a better built, more feature rich flatbed printer in this price range in the marketplace today.”
