This printer includes many feature such as the take-up unit allowing the machine to be run by a single operator.

Gandinnovations will showcase two hot accessory items ­ the Jeti Liquid Laminate and the Flexform UV Inks.

The Jeti Liquid Laminate is an environmentally friendly, water-based product designed as clear-coat protectant to provide gloss, shine and scratch protection to grand-format images such as POP displays, car wraps and oversized banners. Resistance to scratches, chemicals, fade and pollution are among the high levels of protection that the Jeti Liquid Laminate provides. It’s also very easy to use, and can be applied with a simple sponge brush or can be sprayed. The clear coat dries to the touch in minutes, and is totally cured after just 24 hours.

Gandinnovations formulated Flexform UV Inks for producing vacuum-formable images. In the past, stretching substrates caused the inks “pull apart,” but now due to new technology and the consistency of Flexform UV Inks®, printed images can withstand not only stretching, but the high heat necessary to produce high-quality end results.

“We have been putting a lot of emphasis on improving our resolution. We were able to enhance software without loosing speed and now we offer improved quality via ink options,” James Gandy, CEO and Chairman of Gandinnovations.

Many of Gandinnovations Jeti Printers produce at speeds far outmatching anything else on the market, making it possible for high quantity production with multiple image changes, giving printers the ability to turn around normally higher-cost projects at traditional screen printing and conventional printing press prices.
