Warren Group Invests in EFI Vutek LX3 Pro LED Inkjet Printer

US-based Warren Group (TWG) has purchased an Electronics For Imaging (EFI) VUTEk LX3 Pro hybrid roll/flatbed LED inkjet printer.

TWG has installed the 3.2m VUTEk printer to take advantage of growing opportunities in corrugated packaging and permanent display production.

TWG president Jim Warren Watts Jr said: “What impressed me about the VUTEk was the system’s speed and versatility.

“It’s not only appropriate for corrugated sheets, but also for almost any substrate you can imagine, from chip board to foam and acrylics.”

The firm expects the printer to help continue to develop and increase larger quantity capabilities in corrugated packaging. 

Designed to print up to 94 boards per hour, the EFI’s VUTEk machine will complement TWG’s existing roll-to-roll and flatbed printers from different manufacturers.

Watts added: “The VUTEk allows us to print 10 times faster than our flatbed printers. A job that might have taken 22 hours can now be done in an hour and 30 minutes.”

“With this faster turnaround and a changing marketplace, we can satisfy smaller runs from 1 to several hundred in quantity to full production POP runs up to about 1,500 pieces.”

Featuring energy-efficient cool cure LED curing technology, the new VUTEk LX3 Pro also offers an extended-gamut ink set capable of delivering imaging quality comparable to eight-color, premium POP graphics using only four colors, the company said.

EFI provides technologies for manufacturing of signage, packaging, textiles, ceramic tiles, and personalized documents, with a wide range of printers, inks, digital front ends, and a comprehensive business and production workflow suite.

Warren is a full-service company engaged in producing packaging, displays and point-of purchase (POP) signage.
