Future Thinking:
Uvistar Pro8 5-Metre Billboard Printer
For many years Benefitz have been leaders in the local grand format printing market with the ability to print up to five metres wide and any length. This is continuing with the recent installation of a brand new Fujifilm Uvistar Pro8 eight colour five metres wide machine. This is the first machine of this kind installed in the local market. It was first launched at the DRUPA print show in Germany in mid-2012. For more information contact: Dallas Bennett (021-500-389) Aidan Bennett (021-500-997) Visit www.benefitz.co.nz
The Size • Prints big images – up to 5 metres wide and virtually any length. • Over 300 square metres per hour.

It is capable of matching much closer to spot colour than previous technology. • A feature of the Uvistar Pro8 is the Parallel Drop Size (PDS) technology. This is a clever software algorithm that enables jetting within the same print pass of both small and large droplets without any reduction in print speed. The use of the small droplets helps to smooth images which if viewed close up may otherwise appear grainy. • Automated double side print option. The system uses two cameras which measure the print registration at every registration mark ensuring that the back-up is very accurate. The Substrates • Banner Vinyl • Fabrics • Mesh • Synthetics • Paper • Adhesives • PE
