UDS Sp. z o. o., one of Poland’s leaders in point of sale (POS) signage production, will be Central Europe’s first user of the EFITM Nozomi C18000 single-pass, ultra-high-speed LED inkjet corrugated press from Electronics For Imaging, Inc. With this machine, the Warsaw-based company will be able to provide faster response to customers’ changing needs, solve warehousing problems for customers expecting just-in-time deliveries and add more corrugated packaging options to its product offerings.
Scheduled for installation in the New Year, the Nozomi press, with its high-end imaging capabilities and fast running speeds of up to 75 linear metres (246 linear feet) per minute, offers the critical capabilities UDS can use to differentiate itself from the competition by focusing on short lead times as well as innovations in technology, product marketing and logistics. “Our purchase decision,” explained Bączkowski, “was based on a combination of many factors – very good, offset-like quality, productivity, price per printed sheet and optimal sheet width.”
The press, which can print up to 10,000 890×890-mm (35×35-inch) boards per hour two-up, features an innovative, single-pass, piezo inkjet writing system that delivers accurate, high-fidelity colour, including consistent reproduction on solid areas. And, the EFI Fiery® NZ-1000 digital front end (DFE) used to drive the press provides blazing performance, outstanding colour accuracy, efficient job management and the ability to produce versioned or variable work at full speed.
