High-End UV Inkjet Systems

2. One for all – all for one.
Developed and manufactured in Switzerland, a rugged construction with attention to detail.
These properties and a modular design are common to all swissQprint inkjet systems.
Depending on the configuration, they can print anything from the smallest panels through
roll material to oversize media of any kind. And always with accurate precision.
The machines are at the heart of small print providers, the secret weapon of high-end
printing houses and vital, integrated members of industrial corporations. There is an ideal
machine for every production volume.
Nyala
An extra large print bed measuring 3.2 by 1.6 metres offers more than enough room for the
most popular panel formats. Nyala is an unbeatable high-performance machine with
nine colour channels that processes material at a maximum rate of 140 m²/h. Performance
can be increased to 200 m²/h by utilising quadruple CMYK configuration.

3. Oryx
The cost-effective economy model has a striking amount to offer. It is equipped with
eight colour channels. 512 nozzles in the print head deliver a visual print resolu­tion
of up to 1350 dpi. Oryx prints a maximum speed of 70 m² per hour in draft mode.
Impala
1024 nozzles per print head and an impressive output of 130 m²/h have made Impala
the trio’s most sold. The standard CMYK may be enhanced by as many as five addi-
tional channels. They include white, light- or spot colours, varnish and even primer for
printing on glass.

4. Clustering
Situation: a variety of print images on a
supersized length. Intelligent solution: the
controller identifies the optimal nesting
and masks out other print images. After
the printing pass completes, the controller
advances the media, unmasks the next
group of images, and sets the machine to
work. In this way, each and every print
image is laid down on the medium in a
single pass.
Roll to Roll option
Whether vinyl, fabric, mesh or other roll stock, swissQprint systems can handle them all.
And that across the full printing width of 2.5 metres (Oryx/Impala) or 3.2 metres
(Nyala). Setting up and changing rolls is easy, and once the job is started the machine
continues working without supervision.
A well-designed, stable roller system conveys the material across the printing table and
winds it up cleanly on the other side. An integrated control system regulates the
tension and guarantees a perfect print image every time. When necessary, multiple colour
layers can be applied in one pass and are absolutely register-true as a result.
In addition, roll stock can be used as a conveyor for oversized rigid sheets of up to 4 metres
in length. Roller tables dock on as extensions to the printing table for extra length.
The control system ensures an accurate and steady feed even when printing heavy panels.

5. Board option
swissQprint systems equipped with the ingenious board option hold oversized panels and
difficult roll media firmly in place under full-power vacuum during the printing process.
When the printing beam reaches the end of the table, a sophisticated feed system takes over
and advances the substrate automatically. Printing continues seamlessly as soon as the
substrate is positioned exactly at the new zero origin.
The appeal of this process lies in a combination of absolute precision and high efficiency.
Flawless end-to-end printing on rigid media up to 4 metres long is a standard routine.
The system really comes into its own when handling stretchy, heat-sensitive or very slippery
substrates. Heavyweight materials up to 100 kg literally float across the table on an air
cushion generated by reversing the vacuum system. Heavy substrate are thus effortlessly
positioned.
Cropping
Situation: a print subject that exceeds the length of the printing table and requires building-
up in multiple layers. Intelligent solution: the controller identifies the optimal crop and
origin points and then processes the first segment. For instance: primer first, then ink, and
finally an effect varnish. When all of these process steps are complete, the media is
advanced with high precision and the printing process for the adjoining section begins –
without any visible transition between them, of course.

6. Tandem
In tandem operation, machine and operator join forces for continuous, non-stop action:
maximum productivity of the system, fitness training for the staff. The principle is
straightforward: media can be loaded onto the printing table from both the front and
rear. While printing is underway on one side, the operator loads the other side,
and vice versa – so work continues without interruption.
The vacuum table has front and rear sections, both with the usual continuous adjust-
ment. A side benefit is that the rear section can be shut off when normal jobs are being
printed on the front section only – no masking needed.
High-volume producers of identical (Step and Repeat) or differing (Shadow files) media
stand to benefit most from the tandem function. With personalised printed materials
in particular, this option is worth its weight in gold. A case study proves 37 % higher
productivity.
Hot folder
The tandem technique brings huge time savings, especially with the Step and Repeat and
Shadow files printing modes. Workflow optimisation is also an important factor here, helped
along by “hot folders”. These contain predefined RIP-related processes, so the appropriate
steps execute automatically when you drag a file to one of these folders. In the best-case
scenario, all an operator has to do is confirm that the machine is loaded, and printing starts.

7. Software
The swissQprint control centre is quite simply versatile, accommodating a comprehensive
scope of parameterisation. For instance, fine adjustments before and after the RIP
process are just as possible as the free positioning of differing or identical images. When
the board option is used, the controller determines the ideal moment for clustering and
cropping. In summary: the software is a guarantor for seamless and flawless results.
The livespooler, a small supplementary tool, communicates between the RIP station and
the output software. This makes workflow continuous and enables the machine
operator to maintain a clear overview and keep timing under control.
The tool tracks the jobs dispatched from the spooler and provides
continuous feedback on the status of each job. The position of each job in the
queue is always clear. The livespooler also keeps track of the number of printed
copies, status reports and ink reservoir levels.
Here is another example of the various auxiliary functions: a high-resolution CCD camera in
the printing table provides a view of the printing nozzles magnified by a factor of 500 to
enable visual adjustments.

Colours
Inkjet printing is as colourful as the world around us. The systems’ CMYK standard is expandable to
eight (Oryx) or nine (Impala/Nyala) colours: they include light colours for recreating
natural skin tones and fine shading, as well as white, special effects varnish and even primer for
printing on glass. Special colours such as orange, violet and green expand the colour
space further still for even more Pantone colour tones.
All of the UV-curing inks are VOC free. They bond on acrylic, dibond, wood, tarpaulins, polyester,
polycarbonate, polystyrene, (rigid foam) PVC, vinyl films, flexible foam panels and numerous
other media. Suitable materials may be stretched after printing without any signs of stress whiten-
ing in the colour. Because it is flexible enough.
Colour space beyond CMYK. Matching
Pantone shades is easy. With spot colours
orange, green and violet.
A stunning 3D effect that is otherwise
mastered only by screen printing.
Apply effect varnish through one of
the nine colour channels and create an
eye-catching look and feel.

Portfolio at a glance
Inkjet machines from the house of swissQprint are modular in structure. The flatbed construction provides a stable foundation for
every model, from the economy version to the high-performance machine. Options can be added as required. That includes
the continuous addition of newly developed features. No matter the design, every machine is a safe investment in the future.

10. Impressive substrate dimensions
Oryx and Impala print panels up to 2.5 × 4 metres in size and 50 mm
thick – despite astoundingly modest space requirements.
Dimensions up to 3.2 × 4 metres are a breeze for Nyala.
Targeted suction power
The vacuum system is seamlessly adjustable along the width of the print bed. Masking is
largely unnecessary. A higher-powered vacuum option is available for industrial applications
and the Tandem function.
Media diversity
UV-curing inks adhere to acrylic, dibond, wood, tarpaulins, polyes-
ter, polycarbonate, polystyrene, (highdensity) PVC foam sheet, vinyl
films, flexible foam panels, and with primer even on glass, anodized
aluminium and stainless steel.
Homogenous white
White ink has a well-known tendency for sedimentation. swissQprint systems keep it agitated
and circulated right down the print nozzles. Reliable print results are always assured,
regardless of how often white is actually used.
Better safe than sorry
Crash Sensor Technology prevents damage, for instance if the
material thickness was entered incorrectly or corners on the
medium are sticking out. The print head carriage is stopped
immediately.
Vacuum inversion
The Quick Release button neutralises the vacuum in no time at all – and the substrate can be
removed immediately. Thrust reversal creates an air cushion for effortless handling of heavy
media.
Multiple points of origin
The simple, quickly set registration pins are a unique feature. In addition to
defining the zero-origin, they also provide additional mechanical attach-
ment points: format-independent, with as many as required to make
efficient use of the printing table area.
Swiss Made
swissQprint systems are developed and manufactured in Switzerland and stand for precision,
long service life and robust quality down to the very last detail.
