The 1.8m-wide EFI Nozomi C18000 inkjet press will help corrugated manufacturers and brands access a wide color gamut and broader design options in corrugated board work with fast turnaround times, while maintaining low production costs.

The sheetfed, digital packaging press has run speeds up to 8,100 m2/hr, and can print on boards up to 1.8mx3m in size.

A double-lane printing feature that enables full utilisation of the press’s speed and width and increases throughput up to 9,000 80cmx60cm boards per hour.

The press’s LED imaging capabilities provide accurate color imaging on just about any board substrate, including traditional Kemi, model, bleach and kraft materials.

Drupa 2016 will run until 10 June in Dusseldorf, Germany.
