Hungarian company Own-X is targeting the printer at businesses printing large images on a broad range of substrates both "fast and affordably".
According to the company, the new machine is suitable for the production of architectural documents, indoor signage, POP displays, packaging and newspapers.
The Widestar 2000 prints using Memjet's Waterfall printheads, which are capable of printing at 6in (152mm) per second at a resolution of 1,600dpi or 12in (305mm) per second at a resolution of 1,600x800dpi.
Own-X chairman Jules Farkas said: "Memjet technologies and components are changing the way people print and how they use commercial print - by bringing affordable, fast colour where it was never before thought possible.
"This means colour on-demand is now accessible to customers without waiting or doing large print runs to realise economies of scale - a significant shift for the industry."
The Widestar 2000 will be available in the UK from the first quarter of next year through Own-X.
