Gandinnovations Jeti 3348 JetStream
I saw the output at 1-pass mode. Very nice. You can dial out the banding that results from feeding discrepancies. The print path looks like it's about 5 inches deep with each print pass.
 |
| Here is the Gandinnovations Jeti 3348 JetStream at ISA 2008. |
At 2-pass mode the output is even better, but for billboards, an adjusted 1-pass mode is the goal. This printer can print on canvas, vinyl, polyester and other banner, billboard, and building-wrap materials.

As soon as I can get to the factory there will be a FLAAR Reports on this printer.
This is mainly competition for the NUR printers. Here are their current designations:
HP Scitex XP5300 = NUR Expedio Revolution 5m,
HP Scitex XP5100 = NUR Expedio,
HP Scitex XP2700 = NUR Expedio Inspiration,
HP Scitex XP2100 = NUR Expedio 3200
The HP Scitex XL2200 , that was shown at SGIA '08, has issues with X2 printheads and was withdrawn by HP.
Another newer printer that is available is the Matan Barak 3000 and Barak 5000.
The dedicated roll-to-roll Durst Rho 351R UV printer is for a different market than these billboard printers.
VUTEk's roll-to-roll UV printer, QS3200r, turned out to be an adaptation of existing platforms rather than an innovative new platform, so has not successful sold well when compared with the NUR Expedio or even the Gandinnovations models.

Most of our updates for 2008 onward are in FLAAR Reports in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. It is more efficient for us to make new information available in PDF format. So if the web page itself is not updated, check out www.wide-format-printers.NET to see if the printer, RIP, or other subject is covered in an update in a PDF download.
