High Speed Wide Format Inkjet Xante (Booth 431) is running the Excelagraphix 4200 live at GRAPH EXPO 15. Attendees are able to participate in hands-on demonstrations of this high speed wide format inkjet. It prints customized, full color corrugated flat sheets, folded, and glued RSC’s and die cut sheets up to 42" wide at speeds of 12" per second, for pennies per square foot. Roll-Based Printer Built on the Mimaki (Booth 2644) JV Series platform, the JV300 Series printers include newly developed printheads in a staggered configuration and inkjet technology with precise dot control that delivers higher productivity without sacrificing quality. The JV300 Series printers include eight ink channels and a variety of colors to provide the flexibility to produce nearly any application. The SS21 eco-solvent ink set now includes not only Light Magenta, Light Cyan, and White, but Light Black for deeper dimensional monochromatic and grayscale imaging. The addition of Orange ink widens the color gamut for better accuracy in the color reproduction of food and solid Pantone colors. Included is the Mimaki Bulk Ink System 3 featuring economical, high-capacity 2L ink packs and a design that saves space by fitting on top of the cartridge ink station. Choose fast-drying, eco-solvent inks that can print on hundreds of media choices for signage and graphic applications. Or install dye-sublimation inks for textile, apparel, and soft signage production. Available in 54" and 64" inch widths. UV Coatings To complement its direct-printable magnetic substrates for digital and offset presses, Magnum Magnetics (Booth 3048) is introducing its Magnum-UV line of protective and aesthetic UV-curable coatings for digital and offset printing. Magnum-UV provides an exceptional gloss or matte finish for printed pieces, giving them a distinctive and attractive look. Magnum-UV features scratch- and scuff-resistance and superb adhesion to multiple substrates, including vinyl, film, paper, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, and more. Magnum-UV is designed to make printed magnetic signage or graphics look their best and hold up against the elements. Bookletmaker The BM350 from Morgana System (Booth 2448) can produce booklets of up to 35 sheets of 20 pound—equating to 140 pages. The BM500 is the first Morgana bookletmaker to incorporate the new full-color touchscreen interface giving very clear visible instructions to the operator on all machine functions. The bookletmaker can be supplied with a lead edge trimmer and with the Morgana Squarefold option for flat edged books. Mail Inserter W+D (Booth 1253) is introducing its latest mail inserter design the BB700 S2. The next generation independent drive technology of the BB700 S2 is setting new standards for single operator efficiency, machine flexibility, tool-free job-to-job change-over speeds, and intelligent error compensation for unmatched “on-the-belt” productivity. Without stopping the inserter, the BB700 S2’s Auto Mismatch Recovery technology auto-corrects for pieces that are out of sequence due to miss or double pulls or product that that is missing due bindery related errors. Printing prior to the inserting process achieves the highest print quality because it does not have to compensate for varying package thickness. This is the only print solution that will print on the full-face and flap of D/L and C5 (#10 and 6x9") envelopes. Quick connect autoloaders and semi and fully automated back-end solutions like the sima220 from Palamides will insure the highest net “on-the-belt” yields with the lowest possible labor content. Print Finishing Solutions Valco Melton (Booth 4203) offers a range of print finishing solutions for web press gluing, deferred seal gluing, hot and cold carton gluing, PUR bookbinding, and envelope gumming applications. Peripheral Interface Port RICOH (Booth 1231) is introducing the RICOH Peripheral Interface Port (RPIP). This device enables third party high end finishing to be brought in-line for a RICOH Production printer. Finishers from manufactures such as C.P. Bourg and Duplo can now be placed in-line, reducing man power needed to transport work for offline finishing work. As printers deal with more and more short-run and on-demand orders, the speed with which jobs can be turned around and the next job begun is more important than ever. This is why the RPIP was launched, with a strong focus on enabling the swift, accurate flow of documents and information from printer to finishing device. With the RPIP in their shops, printers can reduce manual touch points and wait between printing and finishing, which can lead to fewer errors, faster turnaround times, and pack more business and more revenue into shorter timeframes. In-line Booklet System In partnership with RICOH (Booth 1231), Duplo (Booth 1926) is introducing the 350R In-line Booklet System–a reliable bookletmaking solution that integrates the Duplo DBM-350/T Bookletmaker and Trimmer with the RICOH Pro C9100/8100/7100 series of production printers. On exhibit at the Duplo booth, the 350R In-line Booklet System is featured with the Slit/Cut/Crease and DSS-350 Square Spine modules along with the RICOH Pro C7110. Job Preparation Automation Solution EFI (Booth 1902) Fiery JobFlow makes it easy to automate the job preparation process to produce ready-to-print files with the fewest touch points. The free version, Fiery JobFlow Base, consists of five modules: Locations, Convert, Image Enhance, Impose, and Fiery Preflight. These allow users to build essential workflows that automatically pull jobs from specified input sources like Dropbox, flow them through defined steps, and output them to a Fiery server and/or archive them to another location. The paid version of the product–Fiery JobFlow–brings even more advanced automation and prepress capabilities.
