Iqdemy dares to print on anything at FESPA 2017
Inkjet printer manufacturer Iqdemy will be showcasing its Maglev 1228 UV-LED printer at FESPA 2017, from May 8-12 at the Hamburg Messe in Germany.
Maglev 1228 features a print table of 1.2 x 2.8m and can accommodate heavy materials up to 400kg, including stone, marble, glass and others. Its honeycomb table is divided into 6 vacuum zones operated independently thus reducing power consumption when only some parts of the table are used.
The UV-LED printer is equipped with levitation technology, enabling printing without noise. Eight different dot sizes achievable via a combination of Variable Dot technology and Technology of Invisible Dots ensure outstanding image quality.
Able to print with 8 colours (CMYK+W+LM+LC+V) the Maglev also has a white ink recirculation system and 10 tanks for ink supply featuring ink level sensors among others.
Its environmentally friendly UV-LED technology ensures low operating costs in comparison with traditional UV printers. Its LEDs can operate for up to 10,000 hours without having to be replaced. The printer comes with a warranty for up to five years.
Another outstanding feature is the Maglev 1228’s ability of layered printing. This is sometimes also referred to as “3D-print” in the large format sector, as different amounts of ink layers enable a haptic feeling, thus images and prints, for example wood reproduction, make for an outstanding impression as well as a feel for the surface.
“Maglev 1228 is our best solution in the context value for money,” explains Iqdemy chief executive officer Vladislav Mirchev.
“Maglev 1228 has been designed especially for medium scale production. Advertising, including signboards, backlit projects, exhibition booths and POS, among others, are its primary application. In addition, the UV-LED printer enables printing on glass, furniture, stone, wood, marble as well as metals.”
It is exactly this multipurpose of applications underlining Maglev 1228’s attractiveness. According to Vladislav Mirchev, a viable large format printer should be able to print on any media from flexible films to thick wooden beams and glass.
Also present at the booth in hall A4, D35, DPS Innovations presents their solutions for control electronics and software. The Maglev 1228, as well as the whole product line from Iqdemy, is driven by control electronics and software from DPS Innovations. In addition, the company also develops the UV-LED array employed.
Both companies focus not only on the development of their product lines but are also actively involved in R&D and customized projects in their respective markets.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.

What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.

What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
