New plate and roll printers in our digital printing department
9. June, 2021
The Epson SureColor SC-S80600 roll printer impresses with its superior photo quality when printing on substrates such as transparent film, vinyl, canvas and photo paper.

New measuring systems in the laser and production area 2
21. September, 2020
Two new measuring systems from OGP expand our measuring capacities. This investment will reduce distances and waiting times. The production process is additionally optimized, as the new measurement data acquisition is fully integrated into the other work steps. In the laser area an MVP 600 with a measuring area of 600 x 600 cm is used. This system is equipped with a rigid measuring head and a movable measuring table. Our production 2 has received a CNC 1500 with a measuring surface of 900 x 1500 cm, which has an additional touch function and laser sensors. This way, 3D objects can be measured more easily and accurately. The measuring head is movable and can move over the test part on the X and Y axis.
