Launched at FESPA 2022 in Berlin, the Kudu is a 3.2 x 2m high-end UV LED printer incorporating the latest printhead technology resulting in a resolution of up to 1350dpi. Like all the models offered by swissQprint, the Kudu is expandable with a roll-toroll option but is the first swissQprint model to feature ten colour channels, increasing application diversity. Inks are available in CMYK, light cyan, light magenta, light black, white, effect varnish, and primer, as well as spot colours orange and neon yellow and pink which are exclusive to swissQprint. The application capabilities of these channel options will be highlighted at The Print Show on swissQprint’s booth through a range of samples. Commenting on swissQprint’s decision to exhibit at The Print Show for the first time, Erskine Stewart, managing director of swissQprint UK, says: “This will be the first show in the UK that we demonstrate the new Kudu flatbed printer. This high-end machine has been a game changer for businesses seeking high productivity and quality as well as expanded capabilities. “We will demonstrate a range of applications on the printer including roll-toroll production, neon, and varnish effects and other specialty applications. It’s a great opportunity to present our equipment’s capabilities to a new audience. Exhibitions, like The Print Show, are incredibly important to swissQprint.” Besides introducing the Kudu, Stewart says the company’s presence will be used to highlight its industry leading supported reliability in the form of its newly launched 36-month warranty which covers the entire swissQprint range.
