Record-breaking printing speed

White Ink

Breathtaking print speed

White Ink

Whether there is rigid or flexible material under the jets, Oryx prints 70m² per hour in draft mode – which incidentally offers very presentable quality. In production mode it hums away at an efficient 25m² per hour.

White ink is well known for its tendency to form sediments. Oryx keeps it agitated, for guaranteed printing reliability at any time regardless of how frequently the white is used.

Whether you’re printing on flexible or ridgid substrates, the Impala can operate at 130 sq.m/h in draft mode which breaks previous speed records in this category and yet produces highly presentable results.

White ink has a well-known tendency for sedimentation. Impala keeps it flowing. Reliable print results are thus assured, regardless of how often white is actually used.

Remarkable substrate dimensions

The UV-curing inks adhere to acrylic, dibond, wood, blueprints, polyester, polycarbonate, polystyrene, (high-density) PVC foam sheet, vinyl films, flexible foam panels and – with a bonding agent – even to glass and similar special materials.

Remarkable substrate dimensions Oryx prints panels up to 2.5 m × 4 m in size, and 50 mm thick, all with amazingly modest space requirements.
