SWISSQPRINT RECEIVES TWO EDP AWARDS

The Kudu high-end flatbed printer and the swissQprint glass option have each garnered an EDP Award

You’ll see at C!Print Madrid 2023, Swiss manufacturer swissQprint has just received 2 EDP Awards – the European Digital Press Association’s annual awards for the most prestigious technical accolades in the digital printing, publishing and packaging industries.

The Kudu high-end flatbed printer and swissQprint’s glass option each win an EDP Award.

Kudu – high-end flatbed printer

swissQprint’s latest flatbed printer, Kudu, emerged as the winner in the category ‘Flatbed/hybrid printer > 250 sqm/h’. The jury’s verdict: “The printer addresses a very mature market where versatility, driven by new applications and substrates, is critical.” Kudu is the only swissQprint model with 10 freely configurable colour channels. The result is a yet broader spectrum of applications for users. A maximally-equipped Kudu prints with 30 high-resolution print heads. The printer features high productivity (up to 304 m²/h) at an impressive quality level.

Glass option for glass printing that works

swissQprint’s Nyala, Impala and Oryx flatbed printers offer a glass option. Made for efficient, full bleed direct printing on pre-cut glass panels, it scored an EDP Award in the ‘Glass Production’ category. “This solution enables new applications while protecting existing investments”, stated the jury. In addition to the mechanical part of the solution – an alignment mechanism and protective paper – swissQprint offers an ink set optimised for glass printing. These two together provide users with a complete system.
