In addition to showcasing single-pass inkjet printing at the show, EFI is also introducing two new software solutions that add to the value of single-pass technology, including:

  • EFInsight, cloud-based intelligence that optimises the operational efficiency and TCO of EFI packaging, display graphics, or textile digital inkjet printing systems with cloud-based data collection, analytics, reporting, proactive maintenance, and process control tools. It delivers the insights needed to understand the economics of production and the tools to maximise inkjet printer investments. It is currently available for EFI Nozomi single-pass printers for packaging.
  • EFI’s Life Cycle Assessment tool for Nozomi printers, which documents Nozomi’s environmental footprint, developed in partnership with Clean Agency. This tool, which EFI customers and their customers can use, analyses their CO2 emissions as part of their overall packaging Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and has proven that printing corrugated materials on the EFI Nozomi digital press reduces Global Warming Potential (GWP) by over 50% when compared to analogue printing technologies.

Auf der EFI Connect werden in mehr als 130 Schulungsveranstaltungen die neuesten Tipps und Trends aus allen von EFI unterstützten Sparten vorgestellt. Dazu gehören Veranstaltungen, in denen es um die wachsenden Chancen beim Wandel von analog zu digital unter Anwendung der industriellen Lösungen von EFI für die Bereiche Wellpappe und Verpackung, Textilien und Baustoffe/Dekor geht.
 
Auf der EFI Connect wird auch ein innovatives Druckvorstufenprodukt für Unternehmen im Bereich Werbetechnik vorgestellt. Dabei handelt es sich um die EFI Fiery Prep-it™ Software für die Vorbereitung, das Layout und die automatisierte Produktion von Print-for-Cut-Aufträgen. Diese leistungsstarke und kostensparende Lösung für formgetreue Sammelformen wurde entwickelt, um Produktivitätsanforderungen in Zeiten von anhaltendem Arbeitskräftemangel gerecht zu werden und die Zeit, die für die Verarbeitung komplexer Sammelform-Objekte für Großformat-Drucke benötigt wird, um bis zu 90 % zu reduzieren. Im Vergleich zu Produkten von Mitbewerbern reduziert die Fiery Prep-it Software den Materialverbrauch um mindestens 10 % und trägt so dazu bei, Engpässe bei der Materialversorgung auszugleichen. Dank ihrer Materialeinsparungen kann sich diese erschwingliche, effektive Software in vier Monaten oder weniger amortisieren, was Druckereien hilft, wettbewerbsfähiger zu werden.

As a first of its kind for Mimaki, visitors were able to speak with regional Mimaki representatives, gaining greater insight into the global printing industry as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

A stand-out attraction of the event was the recently released 100 Series, which is priced affordably to allow printers entry into different markets, as many look to expand their portfolio in these uncertain times. The new JFX600-2513 and JFX550-2513, which debuted a few weeks prior at virtual drupa, similarly are higher end but still affordable printers, when compared to other large format UV flatbed machines in its class. 3D full colour print technology also featured heavily in the event, as Mimaki explored the exciting propositions it opens up in different markets and how the brand continues to extend the reach and accessibility of cutting-edge 3D technologies with its upcoming 3DUJ-2207 printer.

Mr. Kazuaki Ikeda, President of Mimaki Engineering commented, “I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone who joined us during this exciting new virtual event. During the pandemic, carrying on innovating has been central to Mimaki’s objectives, with eight new products having been released since October, and even more scheduled to come out over the course of this year. I hope that we can soon all meet at in-person events, once it’s safe to do so, but until then I’m excited to see the results of the continued collaboration and innovation of print industry that we saw in our Innovation Days event.”
