Positive Camtec has announced the arrival of two new high-speed UV printers from Teckwin International. The TS300/600 and TeckProUV were officially launched in April 2010 by Teckwin during the ISA Sign Show in Orlando and have now made their way to Australia in preparation for the Visual Impact Image Expo to be held at Darling Harbour September 20-22, 2010.
Teckwin’s latest releases have a real focus on increased print speed whilst maintaining print quality. The great benefit of the latest UV curable printing technology from Teckwin is not only the speed at which the machines can physically print, but more importantly the flow on effects to workflow – no dry time, no post curing or “out gassing” – in fact prints can be taken directly off the printers and sent directly to the next stage of production.
The TS Series machines are the successors to the hugely popular TeckStorm series of dedicated flatbed printers, and see a speed increase of up to 75% – now offering production mode speeds up to 42m²/hour. The TS300 offers an edge-to-edge print bed area of 2.44 x 1.22 metres while the TS600 boasts a 2 x 3 metre print area. Utilising the optional roll-to-roll module, banner prints at speeds of up to 80m²/hour are easily achieved. Standard ink mode is CMYKcm + White and Teckwin’s world-renowned white ink management system is built into the core of the TS Series.
The TeckPro UV 3200 is a 3.2 metre wide dedicated roll-to-roll printer for high speed printing onto flexible substrates. Offering speeds up to 92 m² /hour it is ideal for banners, billboards, displays and general signage. Load single or multiple rolls simultaneously and achieve high quality, high-speed prints on to banner, self-adhesive vinyl, PP film, synthetic paper, canvas, fabric and mesh. Standard ink mode is fast 4 dual CMYK; options include light cyan and light magenta and white ink for printing onto dark or coloured substrates.
