Fogra has certified swissQprint large-format inkjet printers as being ‘top in class’ energy efficient following tests.
It is the second time swissQprint had its products tested for energy efficiency in accordance with the ISO 20690:2018 standard. Representatives of Fogra, the Research Institute for Media Technologies, measured and certified the power consumption of the swissQprint flatbed printers Kudu, Nyala 4, Nyala 4S and the roll-to-roll printers Karibu 2 and Karibu S in various print modes. The tests showed ‘top in class’ energy efficiency for every machine – meaning their power needs are very low in relation to performance.
According to Fogra, swissQprint is so far the only manufacturer able to provide independent and standardised proof for its products in this respect. The Swiss-made UV LED large-format printers consume an average of 2.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity, the same as an average kettle.
