The 2m-wide machine is being pitched as a "competitively-priced" route for companies that require both flatbed and roll-to-roll functionality.

Capable of printing on substrates up to 508mm thick, the Vutek QS2 Pro is available as a six-colour plus white configuration and is driven by EFI's recently announced Orion operating system.

Supplied with the company's Fiery XF ProServer, EFI claims that the printer delivers a high image quality while maintaining production-level output.

The Vutek QS2 Pro is one a of a number of machines being showcased by EFI at Drupa, which the manufacturer has described as a "fantastic" show to date.

"We already have more leads than we did in the entire drupa four years ago," said EFI chief executive Guy Gechthe. "I have met visitors from China, Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia - from all over the world. The beauty of Drupa is the international element and so far it’s been fantastic."

New machines showcased on the company's stand include its 3.2m-wide Vutek HS100 Pro high-speed, wide-format printer, capable of printing up to 100 boards per hour, or 50 boards per hour in POP mode (600dpi binary print mode).
