The ValueJet 1638UR is a 162cm (64”) wide dual head, dual lamp UV LED roll-to-roll printer developed for the commercial print and sign and display markets. The printer uses Mutoh’s new US11 UV LED CMYK, White and Clear 0% VOC inks, available in 220ml cassettes and 800ml bags (500ml for white), which enable printing on the widest range of roll sub- strates. www.mipstech.co.za tFLOW 9 is a digital workflow automation and cus- tomer service solution for commercial, large format, label and specialty graphics. Of particular note is the complete redesign of the user interface that will help users get work completed and out the door faster. It includes redesigned page headers, and new job and proof views that enable users to easily and quickly change job status, move jobs to production, move between proof and production files, view various versions and more. www.aleyant.com This product is versatile, flexible and dynamic and suits the needs of various digital printing providers. Through network licensing, the software modules can be used on any WorkStation in the network and provides a flexible production environment to optimise production processes across the whole organisation. Based on the successful ErgoSoft RIP Version 15 and the newest product ErgoSoft RIP Sequoia, ErgoSoft has focused on the expansion of the colour tools and services for ErgoSoft RIP users. www.ergosoft.net JPK UV ARTEC 3D AND 3D SYSTEMS INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES DIGIGLASS MODULE Using broadly similar technology to MS’s existing machine portfolio, the JPK has been developed to provide high capacity with low running costs, while jumbo rolls for unwinding and rewinding allow for 24/7 industrial operation. The primary target market for the new printer is now large-scale industrial users of printing technology, for whom reductions in run lengths and collection lifetimes are now making digital printing a possibility. www.msitaly.com UNISUB The UniSub sublimation MDF sheets are for laser cutters. They are made for sublimation transfers and measure 1200 x 800mm. They can be laser cut into almost any shape or size desired. There is also a choice of single or double sided coated sheets. The coating covering these MDF sheets is a premier glossy sheet, resulting in high quality definition and rich accurate colours. www.jgelectronics.com www.SignAfrica.com | MAY/JUNE 2018 ISSUE 95 The integration of Artec hand-held 3D scanners with 3D Systems Geomagic Freeform creates a streamlined workflow from reverse engineering an existing object to the creation of a manufacturing- ready design. Whether users want to capture and replicate an existing object as is or use it as the basis for an entirely new design, the Artec 3D scanners can provide a high-quality detailed 3D model to use as a starting point. This eliminates the time, cost and possibility of error associated with digitally recreating the geometry of organic objects from scratch.www.rapid3d.co.za EFI REGGIANI COLORS DIGITAL PRINTER The printer gives users the ability to print nearly any configuration of inks in 180, 240 and 340mm widths, including using special inks, inks of different chemis- try types, and chemistry for special treatments such as for higher-penetration printing, all at the same time. It prints up to 560 square metres per hour, delivering unmatched printing quality and uniformi- ty with an extended colour gamut, superior colour depth and increased penetration into fabric. www.efi.com Digiglass Panels are single 100
