EFI new products and product updates

摘要

EFI now has Nozomi customers on four continents, chief financial officer Marc Olin said EFI had seen "a lot of creative applications" for the single-pass, 75m/min (linear) inkjet, which was originally conceived as a corrugated printer for boxes. Some customers, such as the UK's Delta Group and Dublin-headquartered McGowans, are using Nozomi for corrugated displays, while one unnamed customer has a roll feeder and prints roll-to-roll. White ink has just been launched as an upgrade available to all users, along with a top feeder for thin and non-rigid substrates (meaning Nozomi could be used for products such as billboards). A new anilox coater is also available. Jose Luis Ramon, vice president of EFI's industrial printing division, said: "With Nozomi we are the worldwide leader and have delivered more printers than the whole of the competition together in the last five years. We are ready to scale up and could produce ten units a quarter."
