The Jetrix LXa5 is a 2.5x1.3m machine specifically developed “to deliver a professional level of large-format printing at an economical price”. It is said to offer photorealistic printing with Konica Minolta 6PL printheads delivering high resolution and variable dot capabilities.

With print speeds up to 37sqm/hr, it achieves a maximum resolution of 1,440x726 dpi and can take media up to 100mm thick. The machine features pneumatic pin registration for fast and accurate media placement and a sophisticated anti-crash system to protect print heads.

South Korean manufacturer InkTec is also showing the Jetrix XGR320, a 3.2m-wide LED-UV roll-to-roll printer with Ricoh Gen6 printheads. With speeds up to 114sqm/hr, it also features multi-roll capability with wide double rollers both front and rear capable of printing heavy rolls of media up to 200kg.

The printers are described as being “offered at competitive prices, while promising to deliver great production speeds without performance compromise”.

Joey Kim, managing director at InkTec, said: “With Fespa’s theme being Opportunities Revealed, the exhibition is the ideal event to have the European launch of the Jetrix LXa5 printer.

“We are incredibly excited to bring to market all the celebrated and recognised sophistication of the Jetrix brand with this new affordable, practical flatbed printer. Positioned to appeal to those that are seeking to extend their wide-format print offering or to potentially enter the sector for the first time, the printer totally reflects the overall sentiment of Fespa this year.”

Fespa is taking place from 19-22 March at the RAI, Amsterdam. On its stand (Hall 1, Stand C72), InkTec is also showcasing a raft of product ranges designed to get businesses quickly up and running with DTF and UV-DTF printing. Its complete DTF technology range features DTF printers, oven/shaker, film, inks, and powder.

InkTec’s large-format medias, which are suitable for banners, roll-ups, window films, floor graphics and more, will also be on show.
