EVENTS - / NEWS SignLink SignLinkMagazine printmonthly_signlink SwissQprint has announced that it will once again display its Kudu high-end flatbed machine at The Print Show this year. Boasting a top printing speed of 341sq m/hr and a 3.2m x 2m flatbed size, the Kudu drew plenty of interest during the 2024 event. Such was this success that swissQprint will bring back the device this year and will be inviting visitors to experience its capabilities first-hand. Additional benefits of the swissQprint Kudu printer include ten colour channels, which the manufacturer says offer “endless possibilities” to users, while the device is also supplied with a 36-month warranty for peace of mind. “Designed for both speed and precision, the Kudu is capable of handling everything from tension textiles and braille signage to fine art, packaging, and retail displays,” explains Erskine Stewart, managing director of swissQprint UK, adding: “While the Kudu will take centre stage, everything shown on our stand could be produced using any model in our Generation 5 range, underlining the flexibility and productivity that all swissQprint flatbed printers now offer. Stewart adds: “We support businesses around the world by providing local expertise and service through our network of international subsidiaries including the UK, ensuring fast support, training, and tailored advice close to our customers.” As to why the manufacturer is once again using The Print Show as a platform to connect with the UK market, Stewart says swissQprint is keen to build on the momentum it experienced at last year’s show, “The event is a fantastic opportunity to engage directly with the UK print industry, showcase the capabilities of our systems, and demonstrate how swissQprint technology can help businesses stand out with quality, speed, and versatility in wide-format printing,” Stewart explains. “The Print Show is a great place to explore the latest in print technology, meet industry experts, and discover solutions that can genuinely impact businesses. For anyone looking to enhance their production capabilities or understand where the future of print is heading, it’s a must-attend event.” SwissQprint set for Kudu showcase [L to R] Regional sales managers Ian Maxfield and Steve Pridham with managing director Erskine Stewart By Rob Fletcher Venture Banners will exhibit across both The Print Show and The Sign Show this September in an effort to capture interest in its latest solutions.
