Croma DigiPress Premiers.
New solvent-based four-color printer.
Cromajet Digital Printing, based in France, announced its first wide-format
inkjet printer-the Croma DigiPress-at this year's FESPA event. The solvent-based
roll-to-sheet printer is a 4-color machine that accommodates media up to 65-in. wide.
Capable of imaging onto various flexible media including vinyl, paper, banner,
self-adhesive, and PVC, the printer produces posters up to 63 x 94 in., which can be used
for bus shelter-format posters or billboard production.
The printer is equipped with 64 Spectra printheads (with 8192 nozzles) and utilizes a
special Cromadigipress solvent ink for flexible materials. Dried by the on-board hot-air
drying system (and optional IR system), the ink offers 2-yr outdoor durability.
In Production mode (single-pass, 200 dpi), the Croma DigiPress produces up to 120
posters (63 x 94 in.) posters/hr or 3767 sq ft/hr; Normal mode (400 dpi) prints up
to 60 posters/hr or 1938 sq ft/hr; and HQ mode (600 dpi) can image up to 30 posters/hr or 1076 sq ft/hr.
Other features of the machine include:
- Automatic XY cutting system,
- Jumbo roll feeding,
- Stacking system, and
- Caldera GrandRIP+.
Price: approximately $765,000; the Croma DigiPress begins shipping in September. The
company does not yet have a US distributor.
