Electronics For Imaging, Inc. has introduced a series of enhancements for the Reggiani BOLT printer. Claimed to be the world’s fastest digital textile printer, the upgrade is a combination of hardware and software enhancements that will minimise artefacts, compensating for missing nozzles that may occur over time and enhancing uniformity to deliver smoother solid colours.
The upgrade also delivers improved quality and smoother gradients, plus it enables faster printhead replacement and drastically increases file processing speed by up to 200% for large, complex files.
EFI Reggiani Senior Vice President and General Manager Adele Genonisays, “With the industry’s top speed and now the delivery of even higher print quality, the EFI Reggiani BOLT can help spur a revolution in textile printing, migrating more production to digital technology, ensuring the fastest return on investment on high-volume work thanks to superior throughput and unmatched reliability and uptime.”
This 1.8-metre-wide single-pass printer – the first digital textile printer to receive the Printing United Alliance InterTech™ Award for advanced print technology innovations – is well-positioned to have a major transformational impact on the industry.
“With the BOLT’s new enhancements – and its ability to print extremely high quality on a variety of designs and fabric types at record-breaking speeds up to 90 metres per minute – the economic cross-over point between analogue and digital printing of fabrics is lower than ever before. The time for single-pass technology is now with this best-in-class, sustainable, high-quality and high-throughput digital textile print solution”, adds Genoni.
The dedicated colour profile creation on the newest-version EFI Fiery BT-1000 digital front end driving the printer delivers better, more-intense tones and improves capabilities for matching existing colour profiles commonly used in digital textile printing.
