swissQprint is presenting a second generation of Karibu roll-to-roll printer at the Printing United Expo 2022 in Las Vegas.
Karibu 2 – which uses the latest printhead technology to achieve up to 1350dpi resolution – accommodates rolls up to 3.4m wide and uses flexible, NVC-free and Greenguard Gold certified UV inks.
“We took proven and popular features from the first generation and have now augmented them with the latest printhead technology”, said Carmen Eicher, chief of sales and marketing officer.
swissQprint offers a dual roll option for the machine, capable of handling two rolls each up to 1.6m wide. The roll holders are split into two sections with each half of the shaft driven individually to ensure optimum web tension.
The Karibu vacuum plate is divided into 136 individually operable segments. Within four seconds, the vacuum can be selectively adjusted, whatever the roll width.
A Light Box is based next to the printing area and a Mesh Kit is also integrated beside this. For media that needs to be printed front and back, swissQprint offers an automatic double-sided printing function.
