EFI Reggiani verbessert die schnellste Textil-Digitaldruckmaschine der Welt weiter

  • Die schnellste Textil-Digitaldruckmaschine der Welt, die EFI Reggiani BOLT, liefert nun noch höhere Bildqualität

Dank Verbesserungen bei Hardware und Software der Ultrahochgeschwindigkeits-Inkjet-Druckmaschine gehören die Herausforderungen der Single-Pass-Bildverarbeitung unter anderem aufgrund weicherer Volltöne und verbesserter Druckhomogenität der Vergangenheit an

  • Die schnellste Textil-Digitaldruckmaschine der Welt, die EFI Reggiani BOLT, liefert nun noch höhere Bildqualität

Dank Verbesserungen bei Hardware und Software der Ultrahochgeschwindigkeits-Inkjet-Druckmaschine gehören die Herausforderungen der Single-Pass-Bildverarbeitung unter anderem aufgrund weicherer Volltöne und verbesserter Druckhomogenität der Vergangenheit an

Electronics For Imaging, Inc. hat die schnellste Textil-Digitaldruckmaschine der Welt, die EFI™ Reggiani BOLT, jetzt noch besser gemacht. Bei dem Upgrade handelt es sich um eine Kombination aus Verbesserungen bei Hardware und Software, mit deren Hilfe die Artefaktbildung minimiert wird, indem der Ausfall einzelner Düsen, der im Laufe der Zeit auftreten kann, kompensiert und für eine höhere Homogenität gesorgt wird, wodurch weichere Volltöne möglich sind. Das Upgrade liefert nicht nur eine höhere Qualität und sanftere Gradienten, sondern beschleunigt auch das Auswechseln der Druckköpfe und sorgt für eine drastische Erhöhung der Dateiverarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit um bis zu 200 % für große, komplexe Dateien.
 
Die Erstellung spezieller Farbprofile mit der neuesten Version des digitalen EFI Fiery®  Front-Ends BT-1000, mit dem der Drucker betrieben wird, liefert bessere, intensivere Farbtöne und verbessert die Möglichkeit zum Abstimmen auf bestehende, im digitalen Textildruck übliche Farbprofile.
 
Diese Verbesserungen sind ein wichtiger Schritt, um die Präsenz des Digitaldrucks in der Branche weiter zu stärken und umweltfreundlichere, nachhaltigere Inkjet-Technologien als Ersatz für analoge Farbgebungsprozesse in den Vordergrund zu stellen, welche die Textilherstellung zur zweitgrößten umweltbelastenden Industrie der Welt machen.
 
“Durch seine in der Branche unangefochtene Geschwindigkeit und die nun noch höhere Druckqualität kann die EFI Reggiani BOLT dazu beitragen, eine Revolution im Textildruck zu entfachen und die Verschiebung der Produktion hin zur Digitaltechnologie zu verstärken, da sich die Investition bei hochvolumigen Aufträgen aufgrund des überlegenden Durchsatzes sowie der unerreichten Zuverlässigkeit und Betriebszeit besonders schnell bezahlt macht”, so Adele Genoni, EFI Reggiani Senior Vice President und General Manager. “Durch die neuen Verbesserungen an der BOLT – und deren Fähigkeit, mit einer Rekordgeschwindigkeit von 90 Metern pro Minute in extrem hoher Qualität auf einer Vielzahl von Designs und Stoffarten zu drucken – liegen Analog- und Digitaldruck in der Textilbranche wirtschaftlich gesehen näher beieinander als je zuvor. Mit dieser branchenführenden, qualitativ hochwertigen und durchsatzstarken Lösung für den digitalen Textildruck ist die Single-Pass-Technologie nun attraktiver denn je.”
 
Die Chancen stehen recht gut, dass die 1,8 Meter breite Single-Pass-Druckmaschine – die als erster Textil-Digitaldrucker den Printing United Alliance InterTech™ Award für Innovationen im Bereich der modernen Drucktechnologie erhielt – die Transformation der Branche stark beeinflussen wird. Mit den bisher in Betrieb befindlichen Exemplaren hat EFI Reggiani BOLT schon jetzt weltweit mehr als 50 Millionen laufende Meter an Textilien bedruckt.
 
Schnellere Verarbeitung und qualitativ hochwertigerer Druck
Das Upgrade der EFI Reggiani BOLT ist jetzt weltweit verfügbar und beinhaltet für eine bessere Gesamtleistung, Druckqualität, Homogenität und Bedienerfreundlichkeit unter anderem die folgenden Verbesserungen bei Hardware und Software.
