The Kudu flatbed printer will make its first appearance at a UK trade show and swissQprint is making its debut at The Print Show
Hosted at Birmingham’s NEC between 17th – 19th September 2024, visitors to stand C10 will see swissQprint’s range of versatile and high-quality printing solutions. From backlit day and night images and magnetic applications to printed and embellished packaging with varnish. swissQprint will demonstrate the intricate detail and quality achievable with its technology.
Spotlight on award-winning Kudu
At the heart of swissQprint’s booth will be the award-winning Kudu. Attendees will see the machine in action throughout each day. Using all 10 colour channels it will highlight the vibrant neon colours and striking varnish effects. Additionally, the roll-to-roll printing option will demonstrate the efficiency and versatility of the unit.
The Kudu has been a hit since its launch, being crowned ‘Best flatbed/hybrid printer > 250 m²/h’ at the EDP Association Awards last year. Boasting a 3.2×2 metre flatbed and productivity of 304 m²/h, as well as 1350 dpi resolution for maximum quality, the machine is already proving popular in the UK with seven in use.
Like all printers from swissQprint, the Kudu is certified as first-class in energy efficiency, using just 2.2 kWh of electricity, equivalent to the consumption of an average kettle. Paired with swissQprint’s reputation for reliability, this ensures that Kudu users enjoy low operating costs.
Visitors will also be able to hear about swissQprint’s unique 36-month warranty. It is applicable to all machines across the range, providing complete peace of mind for users.
Focus on applications
swissQprint’s stand will also have a wide variety of examples tailored specifically to the sign and display market, including ACM, acrylics, POS, and fabric printing. In addition, a special area will be dedicated to demonstrating how the Kudu can revolutionise retail applications, with backlit printing and packaging solutions using neon colours taking the spotlight.
The immersive setup will demonstrate the wide array of applications businesses can achieve with a swissQprint machine. The modular design of swissQprint printers, supporting up to ten colour channels that can be customised and configured, underscores the business’s commitment to providing versatile, adaptable solutions for its customers’ diverse needs.
Versatility and innovation
swissQprint UK Managing Director, Erskine Stewart, expressed enthusiasm about their participation in The Print Show 2024: “We are thrilled to introduce the Kudu to visitors and demonstrate the versatility and innovation that swissQprint brings to the industry. Our goal is to inspire and equip businesses with the tools they need to achieve extraordinary results.”
He and the swissQprint team very much look forward to showing a world of applications that enable printers to create the sustainable and innovative sign and display solutions that their customers demand.
