LFP - Large-Format-Printing

What does a tandem have to do with large format printing?

Thursday 30. May 2013 - The answer to our question will be revealed at Fespa 2013 from 25th to 29th June.

Come to Stand E35S, South Hall, and ask us all the questions you want about
productive flatbed printing and impeccable roll-to-roll printing.
The Impala and Nyala inkjet systems will be on demonstration, equipped
with the latest developments so you can see the answers in action.
Tandem
In tandem operation, machine and operator join forces for continuous, non-stop action: maximum productivity of the system, fitness training for the staff.
The principle is straightforward: media can be loaded onto the printing table from both the front and rear. While printing is underway on one side, the operator loads the other side, and vice versa – so work continues without interruption.
The vacuum table has front and rear sections, both with the usual continuous adjustment. A side benefit is that the rear section can be shut off when normal jobs are being printed on the front section only – no masking needed.
This technique brings huge time savings, especially with the
Step & Repeat and Shadow files printing modes.
Case study
The situation
Production of 1000 panels measuring 400 × 400mm.
Conclusion: 37% higher productivity.
High-volume producers of identical (Step & Repeat) or differing (Shadow files) media stand to benefit most from the tandem function. With personalised printed materials in particular, this option is worth its weight in gold.
