Fremont, CA (Dec. 5, 2017)<\/em> \u2014 Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFII) has announced commercial availability of its newest launched printer, the EFI Pro 24f. First exhibited at the recent SGIA Expo, it is the only dedicated flatbed wide-format printer featuring EFI\u2019s proven LED and variable drop grayscale head technologies. It provides precision imaging, fine detail and outstanding image quality for a broad range of applications.<\/p>\n

Wichita, KS-based customer Superior Signs & Engraving is the first user for the printer. The printer\u2019s premium quality imaging capabilities, with white ink included, and the high versatility and productivity of EFI\u2019s \u201ccool cure\u201d LED technology, have vastly improved throughput and quality at the company.<\/p>\n

Twice the output, higher quality and exceptional versatility<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were completely blown away once the printer was up and running,\u201d said Superior Signs & Engraving Co-owner Adam Stiles. \u201cThe 24f produces vibrant colors and has great print speed. In fact, we have doubled our output on flatbed work with this new printer. Plus, the printer\u2019s white ink produces a very opaque, bright white color, which has increased our quality of print. Overall we would recommend this printer 100 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

While quality and speed were key considerations for Superior Signs & Engraving, Stiles and his team also benefit from the printer\u2019s ability to accurately and consistently handle a broad range of substrates. \u201cThe features that are a nice upgrade for us besides the color quality and speed are the button activated media guides and the media float button,\u201d Stiles explained. \u201cWhen positioning heavier medias such as 6-mm Dibond and \u00bc-inch acrylic, the float allows us to easily position the material without having to worry about sliding it, especially on double-sided prints.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe built-in EFI Fiery proServer with FASTRIP,\u201d he added, \u201cmakes RIPing files extremely easy and fast, which helps with our overall output.\u201d<\/p>\n

A high-value addition to EFI\u2019s extensive inkjet portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n

The printer is the newest addition to EFI\u2019s growing wide-format portfolio, a dedicated flatbed device perfect for applications requiring discerning image quality and absolute dot placement accuracy. A highly strategic choice for signage, photographic backlit displays, art reproductions, membrane switches, graphic overlays, lenticular prints and other specialty applications, this printer\u2019s true 4×8-foot flatbed architecture features a multi-zoned vacuum system that eliminates masking while ensuring accurate registration for multiple over-prints or panels. EFI\u2019s \u201ccool cure\u201d LED technology ensures low power consumption, minimal waste and compatibility with thinner and heat-sensitive substrates.<\/p>\n

The printer\u2019s built-in EFI Fiery proServer Core digital front end gives users the power of faster job processing, along with a host of color management and production options for a complete, turnkey solution.<\/p>\n

Demos and print samples from the new printer are available at EFI\u2019s U.S. and European inkjet demo centers in Meredith, NH, and Brussels, Belgium.<\/p>\n
