Dongguan Yifang in flatbed first

Dongguan Yifang Digital Technology is using Fespa as the European launch for its new “mid-market” Fortune UV flatbed range.

Commercially available immediately, the machines can print onto materials including glass, acrylic, wood, ceramic, tile, PVC board and foam board and are targeted at applications including wall graphics, signage, lightboxes and phone cases.

Four different models are available and are supplied with Ricoh Gen5 or Konica Minolta 1024i printheads. A maximum print speed of 105m²/hr is possible on the 2x3.2m YF-2032G and 2.4x1.2m YF-2512G models running the Konica Minolta heads in four-pass mode.

The UV machines feature automatic height detection and anti-collision systems as well as an intelligent constant temperature ink system.

Overseas sales director Vicky Wong, who called Fespa “a good place to meet customers and distributors”, said the firm currently has distributors in Poland, Greece and Slovakia and is looking for distributors for other territories, including Germany.

The firm is exhibiting on stand B5-H96 at Fespa, which is being held at Messe Munich until Friday 17 May.
